Rotten
Piles on the foreign accents and paint-by-numbers brutality, all served up with a grim, operatic self-seriousness that gives Cage's antihero little room to maneuver.

Cage may not always be easy on the eyes, but at his best, you can't turn away from him, because you never really know what he'll do next. But here, the actor plays it drab and dour.
Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine/Vulture
Rotten
There isn't an original frame or line of dialogue in Rage.
David Hiltbrand, Philadelphia Inquirer
Rotten
It's hard to say this is the worst film Nicolas Cage has ever made - there are just too many contenders to choose from. But it's near the bottom.
Tom Long, Detroit News
Rotten
Rage is so full of cliche, convention and just plain odd narrative choices that it can't get out of its own way.
Scott Bowles, USA Today
