Inspired by one of the longest and bloodiest real-life events in police history, Officer Mike Chandler and a young civilian passenger find themselves under-prepared and outgunned when fate puts them squarely in the crosshairs of a daring bank heist in progress by a fearless team of highly-trained and heavily-armed men.

Unwatchable even by the subterranean standards of a direct-to-video Nicolas Cage thriller, director York Shackleton’s “211” is the kind of low-grade schlock that leaves you with a newfound respect for the basic competence that most bad movies bring to the table. Not even the opening credits feel totally credible, as they insist the film is “based on a screenplay” by the filmmaker, a point of attribution that doubles as a brutal self-own.
These are but a few of the many haunting questions that loom over “211”: “What?,” the more existential “why?,” and of course “wait… how the hell did this movie about war profiteers in Afghanistan suddenly become a heartwarming story about a black teenager who learns how to stop…
While I was searching for something to watch, I found myself watching one of the many VOD movies with Nicolas Cage. My search led me to this one, which isn't great, but isn't terrible either.
You see, as a thriller movie this one doesn't really work at all. However, this might actually work well as the pilot episode for a series like NCIS or Chicago PD starring Nicolas Cage. While I wouldn't call it the best series ever or even as an episode in one of these crime procedurals this would still feel like a weak episode. However, I do enjoy these types of cop shows, so maybe I was biased. The performances are pretty uneven, though you got a…
Wild this movie is 85 minutes and spends 30 of it introducing way too many characters, like 211 characters. Most of which do very little. It's late period Nic Cage so don't worry he's only got about 32 minutes of screen time. This is anti art, it's one of the most sterile and ugly non-movies ever. Clearly nobody wants to be on set, and nothing interesting happens to even justify making this.
I like movies that incorporate multiple plot points and have them intertwine but this suffers from too much setup for a bunch of main characters and storyline, it was convoluted and ineffective. But the one story that follows through more consistently was with Nicolas Cage as a bitter police officer, Mike Chandler, him and his partner/son-in-law, they have to do a ride-along with a young man and not knowingly head into an area where a huge bank heist takes place by a group of dangerous mercenaries. Cage was not interesting in this, underperforming and dull. Some cool shootout scene but the film was not competently made.
I thought this movie is about the big robbery with nicolas cage,
I thought ok it must be good.
but in the first scene I already realized that it wasn't and the thing only gets worse.
WHAT A HORRIBLE MOVIE.
"AND MY SON!!! IS DEAD!!! HE HAS!!! A CHILD!!! ON THE WAY!!!"
None of that was natural and it felt really force, but still an amazing little rage burst from Cage.
"IF YOU FKN DIE, I'LL FKN KILL YOU."
Let's get Cage-d

*I'm not spoiler-tagging this review because 211 has a 4% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes for very, very good reason.
In 211, should-really-retire-his-badge Mike (Cage) & his rookie cop-partner Steve (Dwayne Cameron) - who also happens to be Mike's son-in-law even though Mike & his daughter aren't on speaking terms (??) - are doing a ride-along with some highschooler, when they stumble upon a band of fkn militant mercenaries with automatic weapons & endless ammo mid-bank robbery. Let's just say, the Chesterford PD is in way over their heads with this one (yes, ChesterFORD 🙄).
Tbt, I've never been shot, & I'm sure it, like, really hurts & is really scary...& I…
Hiring Cage to play a cop straight down the middle with nearly zero histrionics is incredibly sacrilegious, especially for a production that promises nothing. You’d think they might opt to play the one card they actually have, but maybe the big man just wasn’t feeling this one. Hard to blame him. He’s not exactly phoning it in if there’s no one to call.
Auto-pilot: The Movie
The opening credits show that this was directed by York Shackleton, but based on a screenplay by York Alec Shackleton, and so the OPENING CREDITS are showing me two things I have never seen before. One, a filmmaker using a different name for different credits on a film, but not as a pseudonym. Although there has never been a name in history that sounds more like a made up name than York Shackleton. That’s the best name I’ve ever heard, and it’s real! Two, “based on a screenplay by”. That is not an awkward way of saying “written by” because the following credit is “screenplay by John Rebus”. So Shackleton wrote a screenplay for a movie he wanted to direct,…
That specific DTV actioner opener that consists of quick excursions to too many various multi-country set introductory plot points that will all come together later on with that fucking digital typing noise thing behind a shit font appearing telling you which country each section is in is like the cinematic equivalent to a blues standard and I hope it lives on forever.
This is as predictable and unnecessarily convoluted as it is fucking stupid in that the guy who would die in real life doesn't die and lives for his unborn child in the same film an average bullied young lad that doesn't need to be in the film because surely a bank-robbery-cum-terrorist-siege has enough tension, somehow charges his dead…
Being a Cage completionist is sometimes a real burden.
