This one isn't worth the watch. He's supposed to be a tough guy gangster out for revenge? What a joke!!!! The character is weak!!! If someone killed my child while I was doing time for them the first thing I do is kill their kid and then them. No bs talking. Just plain revenge! Don't waste your time

Cage has been in a LOT of movies. Some are bound to be bad. This is one of them. I could only take so much of him stumbling around pretending to be dying.

I am a big Nicolas Cage fan, but even he could not save this movie from itself. The movie is poorly written, plagued by bad acting, has a very tired/used-up concept and plot, and developed at a slow pace. The only positive thing in this movie was a major and clever plot twist in the second half. That twist changed the whole perspective on what was going on. I thought it was pretty smart. That's the only good thing I will remember from the movie. Also, to be fair, the movie became more interesting and the tempo picked up in the last 20 minutes. Overall though, it's a forgettable movie. But, if you're a big Nicolas Cage fan like myself, you might find this movie to be watchable. If you're not a big Nicolas Cage fan, I would skip this movie altogether because you'll be very disappointed. I can almost guarantee it.

What a waste. You wonder why Netflix is dying? Movies like this sewage, with big name stars and sucky scripts with no substance. The shame of it is that the money spent on this pointless pile of poo could have been used to make something entertaining.

A Score to Settle falls more on the not-good column of the Cage ledger.

Director Shawn Ku manages to capture a few moments that will make the latest Nic Cage supercut of the actor's bizarre on-screen moments. Otherwise this tale barely treads water, and all but sinks with its ridiculous third act twist.

Uneven Nicolas Cage action movie; violence, drug use.

Too often stumbles with its inconsistent and schlocky take on the geriatric revenge thriller movie.

An entertaining and well-paced film, "A Score to Settle" is Nicolas Cage at his best - deeply intense with a little bit of crazy mixed in for good measure.

Rated: 4/5
