Arsenal (also known as Southern Fury)[3] is a 2017 American direct-to-video action thriller film[4] directed by Steven C. Miller and written by Jason Mosberg.
The film stars Adrian Grenier, John Cusack, Nicolas Cage (reprising his role from 1993's Deadfall) and Johnathon Schaech.
Twenty-three years later as adults, Mikey is getting out of jail and JP is running a successful construction company.
Mikey wakes up tied to a chair in the back of the Arcade where he witnessed that incident all those years ago.
The website's consensus reads: "Aside from an opportunity to watch a mustachioed Nicolas Cage acting from under a wig and behind a prosthetic nose, Arsenal has depressingly little to offer.
[7] Joe Leydon of Variety wrote primarily about Cage's performance, saying it "could be labeled Swift’s Premium and sold by the pound", going on to say that with his "putty nose", "bad wig", and "fake mustache that resembles an exhausted caterpillar", Cage brings his usual "manic gusto", and that "while his over-the-top shtick is perilously nearing the end of its shelf life", Cage "routinely dominates each film in which he appears".
Club also noted the "prime Nic Cage overacting", as well as John Cusack "trying to disguise how miscast he usually is as a lowlife", but wrote that this tried to work as a "quick fix for the movie's weaker elements".
[10] Sheri Linden of The Hollywood Reporter wrote: "Miller orchestrates the final crescendo of bloodletting by indulging in a jokey, ultra-slow-motion ballet of shotgun pellets, spurting arteries and exploding skulls.
