Nicolas Cage in Vengeance: A Love Story (2017)
On the Fourth of July, single mother Teena is brutally assaulted by a local gang in front of her 12-year-old daughter Bethie. Even though Bethie is able to identify the attackers, the defense hires a local hot-shot defense attorney who manipulates the law to their advantage. When the criminals are set free, Gulf War veteran and detective John Dromoor is dismayed by the lack of justice and plots revenge against the men on Teena's behalf.

    • Trivia
      In one of the bar scenes, an extra is sitting in a booth on the other side of Nicolas Cage. This extra has a portrait tattoo of Nicolas Cage that was autographed by Nicolas Cage at that same bar when they happened to meet a few months before.
    • Goofs
      In the bar scene the bartender mentions that Bethie was 6 yrs old at the time of her father's layoff from work 4 or 5 years ago (making her 10 or 11), then at about the 8 minute mark Teena mentions 4th grade math (making Bethie either 9 or 10) . At about the 7 1/2 minute mark she mention Bethie is 10 (thus confirming the bartender's remarks about the time line and Teena's about 4th grade math). However, her grandmother at roughly the 25 minute mark says Bethie is 12.

    Worth watching
    I can see why this film did note score well as it has lots of fall downs, but as a film its worth watching. If you accept the fact its all been done before and it panders to both cage and Johnson's ego's you will enjoy it, the daughter and mother will make you smile, chuckle and cry, cry a lot. Cage is trying to stay relevant in films but is still acting like its 2000. Don Johnson, 1991, love them both as icons. Once you admit that this is a Nick Cage produced film and enjoy it as a story, it actually is a good film.
