Rage (2014)*

Title: Rage (aka. Tokarev)
Rating: NR
Directed by: Paco Cabezas
Written by: Jim Agnew and Sean Keller
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Rachel Nichols, Max Ryan, Danny Glover and Aubrey Peeples
Release Date: 5/9/2014
Running Time: 92 minutes

IMDb

PAUL MAGUIRE (Nicolas Cage) is by all accounts, a decent man. A contractor by trade, he is a pillar of his community, and a family man. His wife VANESSA (Rachel Nichols) and his daughter CAITLIN (Aubrey Peeples) adore him. But it wasn’t always this way. Paul is actually a reformed criminal who still keeps in touch with his old associates, especially KANE (Max Ryan) and DOHERTY (Michael McGrady).

One night Paul and Vanessa go out to dinner with some friends, leaving Caitlin at home with her friends Mike (Max Fowler) and Evan (Jack Falahee). In the middle of their dinner, DETECTIVE ST. JOHN (Danny Glover) enters the restaurant and tells him that something has happened to Caitlin.

Evan and Nick tell the police and Paul that they were watching TV with Caitlin, when several Russian men barged in and took her. They fought – but the Russians overtook Mike and Evan. Eventually, Caitlin turns up dead, and Paul’s world collapses all around him. Several years earlier, before Caitlin was born, Paul and his buddies robbed a Russian gangster and stole millions of dollars. Paul used the money to go legit and believed they had gotten away with the robbery — until now. Convinced the kidnapping is long-overdue retaliation for the crimes of his youth, Paul ignores the police and mounts his own investigation, against the wishes of his old crime boss FRANK O’CONNELL (Peter Stormare)

Paul and his buddies shake down and rough up anyone they can find who might be connected to CHERNOV (Pasha D. Lychnikoff), the legendary mob boss whose money they stole seventeen years earlier. O’Connell pleads with Paul to stop his rampage, but he refuses. Vanessa, who initially backed her husband’s search, now fears he’s becoming the killer he once was. But there exists another possibility: perhaps he has always been a violent man and can never truly leave that life behind.

Down on their luck punk rockers The Ain’t Rights are finishing up a long and unsuccessful tour, and are about to call it quits when they get an unexpected booking at an isolated, run-down club deep in the backwoods of Oregon. What seems merely to be a third-rate gig escalates into something much more sinister when they witness an act of violence backstage that they weren’t meant to see. Now trapped backstage, they must face off against the club’s depraved owner, Darcy Banker (Stewart), a man who will do anything to protect the secrets of his nefarious enterprise. But while Darcy and his henchmen think the band will be easy to get rid of, The Ain’t Rights prove themselves much more cunning and capable than anyone expected, turning the tables on their unsuspecting captors and setting the stage for the ultimate life-or-death showdown.

As the twentieth century breathes its very last, with Britpop at its zenith, twenty-seven-year-old A&R man Steven Stelfox (Hoult) is slashing and burning his way through London’s music industry. Blithely crisscrossing the globe in search of the next megahit—fueled by greed and inhuman quantities of drugs and alcohol—Stelfox freely indulges in an unending orgy of self-gratification. But the industry is changing fast, the hits are drying up, and the only way he’s going to salvage his sagging career is by taking the idea of “cutthroat” to murderous new levels.

Girl in the Photographs, The (2015)*

Title: The Girl in the Photographs
Rating: R
Directed by: Nick Simon
Written by: Robert Morast, Osgood Perkins and Nick Simon
Starring: Christy Carlson Romano, Katharine Isabelle and Claudia Lee
Release Date: 4/1/2016
Running Time: 95 minutes

IMDb

Big-city glamour clashes with small-town values — and a killer’s knife — in The Girl in the Photographs, a bloody cocktail from director Nick Simon and executive producer/horror master Wes Craven that is in equal parts an homage to the slasher genre and a clever manipulation of its tropes.

Colleen (Claudia Lee), a bored young woman in a sleepy community called Spearfish, starts receiving photographs of brutally murdered young women. Are they real or staged? The culprit is either a serial killer or some creep with a sick sense of humour, not that the cops are doing much about it either way. But when news of the twisted photo campaign hits the internet, famous LA-based celebrity photographer Peter Hemmings (clearly a tip to David Hemmings’ shutterbug character in Blow-Up, and played to hilariously arrogant perfection by Kal Penn) decides to take a trip back to his hometown, Spearfish, to investigate.

Hemmings and his entourage of self-centred models, assistants, and hangers-on descend upon the town and immediately disrupt Colleen’s dull existence. Hemmings takes a special interest in Colleen, much to the chagrin of his cool-as-ice model girlfriend (Miranda Rae Mayo). As the killer targets Colleen’s friends and closes in on her, Hemmings and his posse seem to present an enticing escape.
