The Retirement Plan

Save

Summary

Keeping it in the family means killing to protect the people you love in a knuckle-bruising action thriller directed by Tim J Brown. Ashley (Ashley Greene) becomes involved with dangerous criminals and tries to keep her 12-year-old daughter Sarah (Thalia Campbell) safe by sending the tween to the Cayman Islands to lay low at the beach hut of Ashley's estranged father Matt (Nicolas Cage). A hard drive crammed with incriminating evidence also travels to the Caribbean and sadistic crime boss Donnie (Jackie Earle Haley) despatches henchmen to tie up loose ends

Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

Steve Morrissey

This gonzo action comedy from writer/director Tim Brown plays like a homage to the early films of Guy Ritchie. Nicolas Cage stars as the drunken beach bum who has left behind his life as a hitman in order to see out retirement in the Cayman Islands. However, he's stirred back into action when his estranged daughter (Ashley Greene) and granddaughter (Thalia Campbell) are threatened by gangsters. Grey of hair, white of beard and dressed in a series of loud Hawaiian shirts, Cage looks lean and fit, and is on great over-the-top form. As the comedic body count mounts, the likes of Ron Perlman, Jackie Earle Haley and Ronnie James Hughes all line up to get a taste of his medicine. The jokes are frequent and funny, but they peter out a bit as Brown heads for the finish-line with a determinedly straight face.
