How many times have we seen this plot in a Nic Cage thriller?

He’s a veteran crook/cop/government agent/what have you.

And his kid is kidnapped.

Yeah, he’s been doing “Taken” over and over again. Still kicking himself that Liam Neeson landed that one.

Last year’s “Stolen” was one version. “Drive Angry” was the life after death version.

“Tokarev” is the latest incarnation, variation on a theme by Nic.

Spanish director Pablo Cabezas is behind the camera. Me neither.
