Arsenal

About This Movie

So 'Arsenal' is quite the gritty little piece from 2017. The duality of family loyalty and betrayal runs deep, and you can feel that tension right from the start. The pacing is a curious mix—slow at times, which builds a certain dread, but then it really hits hard during the action sequences. The performances are, well, a bit uneven—Nicolas Cage brings his usual intensity, while some other cast members don’t quite match his energy. There’s something to be said about the atmosphere, though; it’s dark and unrelenting, and you kind of feel trapped in it along with the characters. It's not your typical crime thriller, that’s for sure—there's a rawness that lingers after the credits roll.
