Nicolas Cage is on the right track again. You could say that it is his second golden age in cinema and this year he has him as the main protagonist of El peso del talento, a highly anticipated film that we can anticipate will be one of the revelations of the year. In this case, he stars in Settlement de reckones, an action thriller about a former member of the mafia who is released from prison after serving a long sentence.
Reckoning is a story of revenge about a father who, after losing several years of his son for being deprived of his liberty, begins a path to collect some blood debts. The film is 109 minutes long, is on Netflix and was directed by Shawn Ku (Beautiful Boy). Frank Carver, the main character, is played by iconic actor Nicolas Cage. We tell you everything you need to know about this production.
Reckoning (A Score to Settle), is an action thriller that complies with the basic rules of the genre. It does not seek to transcend by the originality of its treatment, but by how well executed the concept is. With no surprises from appearance, the spectator will be able to connect with Frank, a former member of the crime scene, who spent 19 years serving a sentence in maximum security. This led him to be disconnected from the world, unable to see his son, friends, family, etc.
His only goal, although he shows what he contracts at times, is to take his revenge and find his former boss Max. Along the way, as you try to reach that goal, you will be presented with different opportunities to live a happy life with your money, your child and some new options. A path full of contradictions.
The film is from 2019 and went to theaters in the United States. Commercially it didn't do very well because Nicolas Cage was taking his first steps in regaining the popularity and success he had had in another era. At that time Mandy and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse had already released. After Reckoning, he released Color Out of Space, The Croods 2: A New Era and Pig. Today he expects the premiere of El peso del talento and works on different projects such as Renfield, where he will play Dracula.
Currently, Adjustment of Accounts is among the most watched films in Spanish-speaking markets and its release was recent. He will surely continue to improve his performance since everyone loves Nicolas Cage and even more when he plays an action hero.
Reckoning is now available on Netflix while Nicolas Cage's new The Weight of Talent is coming to theaters on May 12.
