What to Know

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.

Wendy Ide Observer (UK) The only thing that is less convincing than Cage's prosthetic schnozz is the car crash of a plot. Rated: 1/5 Feb 26, 2017 Full Review Kevin Maher Times (UK) Nicolas Cage delivers one of his all too frequent cringe-making, extra-screamy, dial-a-psycho performances in this ultra-violent Southern noir. Rated: 1/5 Feb 23, 2017 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian One to avoid. Rated: 1/5 Feb 23, 2017 Full Review Robert Kojder Flickering Myth 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'? Rated: 2/5 Dec 5, 2017 Full Review Matthew Bond The Mail on Sunday (UK) 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. Rated: 1/5 Oct 17, 2017 Full Review Marija Djurovic Cairo360 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. Rated: 1/5 Mar 3, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review roman l Nicolas Cage´s character was a cartoon and ruined movie. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member You know what they say: In order to enjoy the good movies you must endure some of the bad ones Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review roger g Watched it until Nicholas Cage showed up about 32 minutes into the film. Yeah, it's bad. Don't waste 30 minutes of your life. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
