Brian Taylor, who's best known as one half of the creative team that brought us the Crank films and Gamer, branches out on his own to serve up another fun and zany dark comedy thrill ride. Mom & Dad has enough adrenaline coursing through its veins to hang with the Crank films and boasts a wound up and rattled Nicolas Cage at his "Cagiest" since Bad Lieutenant. It may not reinvent the wheel, but it's a pretty rockin' good time as far as January fare goes.
