“211” (*** out of four) was a jaggedly tense action thriller about a retiring police detective (Nicolas Cage) and his rookie son-in-law (Dwayne Cameron), who finds out that morning that his wife (Sophie Skelton) is pregnant, soon find themselves in the midst of an escalating bank heist involving international sharpshooters and terrorists. Nail-biting story never lets up and features one of Cage’s better roles and performances in a while. Refreshingly lean and short also, at only 86 minutes.
