“Arsenal” (** out of four) was a sleazy, derivative melodrama set in New Orleans about a small-time former mob runner (Adrian Grenier) who is forced back into the underworld when his older brother (Jonathan Schaech) is kidnapped by a rival crime boss (Nicholas Cage) and his brother’s old friend who is now a detective (John Cusack) becomes involved. New Orleans accents come and go and so does one’s interest in this unpleasant story which feels like reheated Elmore Leonard or Quentin Tarantino. Schaech is good in a different role for him but Cage chews and throws up the scenery as an over-the-top thug.
