“Rosenberg’s sarcastic, tough-guy dialogue is full of lean-and-mean one-liners, and the superbly cast actors know how to milk them for all they’re worth. [Nicolas Cage] walks the fine line between self-preservation and selfless heroics with great aplomb, keeping the audience with him at all times”
DOORS: 19:00 | FILM STARTS 20:30
