Surprisingly, this was a good, entertaining movie with some ups and downs. Basically the story is nothing new-three men with their prison background want to pull a 750 000 dollar deal and live happily ever after. As it is kidnapping, they may be sceptical about this but their honest leader played by Nicolas Cage says: "I think these deals happen sometimes. You just never ever hear about it 'cause they run off to Hawaii, and you never hear from them again." What will happen to them you will see yourself.
So the good thing about this movie is the style, which is more likely made to attract younger audience. It is violent, colourful (neon lights seem to be very trendy in movies right now), fast paced and the soundtrack is just nailed.
When I looked at the cover, I thought-Cage, again? Maybe it is just a coincidence but he appears in every second film I watch lately, so 2015 and 2016 is Cages resurrection in cinema. He is not the best or worst actor, he seems to be doing movie business, that is it. Hope to see him in a more outstanding and challenging role in the future. Willem Dafoe, on the other hand, pushed himself and perfectly performed a semi- crazy, violent and confused character.
Maybe Dog Eat Dog is not deep enough and the story it too simple but it has a message and I think this movie will find its audience.
