I can't see what all the negative reviews are about. The production values weren't very high, but the cast was pretty good and most of the acting was good. Cage played the same character as in "Deadfall", though Eddie died in that flick, so this isn't really promoted as a sequel to that film.
So, other than Eddie coming back from the dead and being killed again, the story isn't bad. The slo-mo effects weren't needed, and that might be seen as a minus, but it doesn't justify so many bad reviews. Everybody who watches movies knows that Nic Cage has been in some turkeys, but this wasn't really one of them.
I gave it a 7 and that isn't overly generous. Those who didn't like this have their own opinions and I have mine.
