Critics Consensus

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.

The only thing that is less convincing than Cage's prosthetic schnozz is the car crash of a plot.

Nicolas Cage delivers one of his all too frequent cringe-making, extra-screamy, dial-a-psycho performances in this ultra-violent Southern noir.

Is there a better way to ring in a new year of movies with some more material to add to the Nicolas Cage 'Losing His S*** Montage'?

Whose film career is going downhill faster -- John Cusack's or Nicolas Cage's? It's a good question, and one that the truly wretched drugs thriller Southern Fury (US title: Arsenal) gives us far too much time to consider.

Bad acting and even worse facial prosthetics are the main talking points of Steven C. Miller's crime-thriller, Arsenal; a dreary drama about one man's attempt to rescue his loser of a brother from the hands of the mob.

Worst movie of 2017. Straight-to dvd dump with very little storytelling, action that feels from a 90s movie and absurdism, this should be avoid at every cost.

If they could have just dropped their half-assed attempt at a 300-esque stylised slow-down/speed-up edit, all of the violence in Arsenal might have actually come across quite well. Unfortunately, they chose to include it, which ruined literally the only good thing it ever had going for it.
