Final Take:
This should have been much better. It had all of the ingredients for success, including of course a fired up Nic Cage, and Don Johnson as a slimy antihero. The movie squandered all of that promise by limiting the Nic Cage rage time and amping up the unnecessarily graphic rape scene. Also, the entire town and judicial system turning against this poor mom was a big turnoff. There are other much better Cage movies out there that are more deserving of your time.
