So, Nic Cage's wife, January Jones is raped, and a shadowy organisation lead by Guy Pearce offers to deal with the culprit, and after umming and ahhing for a bit, Nic Cage agrees. He is then left with having to assist the shadowy organisation with their next revenge killing, which he has some problems with, motivationally. And then a really average thriller happens about this organisation's increasingly elaborate attempts to make him do it.
