Nicholas Cage Fights To Save His Daughter In TOKAREV
The first official market promo for director Paco Cabezas’s upcoming revenge crime thriller, Tokarev, has already gone viral in the past few months. With Mobile, Alabama as the backdrop, the new film is written by Jim Agnew and Sean Keller with actor Nicholas Cage starring as a father who is forced to return to his criminal roots to exact his revenge against the Russian mafia while in search of his missing daughter.
Paul Maguire (Nicolas Cage) is by all accounts, a decent man. A contractor by trade, he is a pillar of his community, and a family man. His wife Vanessa (Rachel Nichols) and his daughter Caitlin (Aubrey Peeples) adore him. But it wasn’t always this way. Paul is actually a reformed criminal who still keeps in touch with his old associates, especially Kane (Max Ryan) and Doherty (Michael McGrady).
One night Paul and Vanessa go out to dinner with some friends, leaving Caitlin at home with her friends Mike (Max Fowler) and Evan (Jack Falahee). In the middle of their dinner, Detective St. John (Danny Glover) enters the restaurant and tells him that something has happened to Caitlin.
Evan and Nick tell the police and Paul that they were watching TV with Caitlin, when several Russian men barged in and took her. They fought – but the Russians overtook Mike and Evan. Eventually, Caitlin turns up dead, and Paul’s world collapses all around him. Several years earlier, before Caitlin was born, Paul and his buddies robbed a Russian gangster and stole millions of dollars. Paul used the money to go legit and believed they had gotten away with the robbery — until now. Convinced the kidnapping is long-overdue retaliation for the crimes of his youth, Paul ignores the police and mounts his own investigation, against the wishes of his old crime boss Frank O’Connell (Peter Stormare)
Paul and his buddies shake down and rough up anyone they can find who might be connected to Chernov (Pasha D. Lychnikoff), the legendary mob boss whose money they stole seventeen years earlier. O’Connell pleads with Paul to stop his rampage, but he refuses. Vanessa, who initially backed her husband’s search, now fears he’s becoming the killer he once was. But there exists another possibility: perhaps he has always been a violent man and can never truly leave that life behind.
