A Score to Settle

A Score to Settle (2019) is a crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Nicolas Cage plays Frank, a mob enforcer who walks out of prison after serving nearly two decades for a crime he was set up to take the fall for. Directed by Shawn Ku, with Benjamin Bratt and Noah Le Gros as Frank's estranged son.

Frank is out, but he's not well. Insomnia tears him apart at night; daylight brings a choice he can't stop turning over. On one side is his son — a young man Frank barely knows, a chance to fill in the blank years. On the other is a short list of people who made sure he went down and stayed silent all this time. The money is for a new life. The list is for something else.

Cage plays this one quiet and worn rather than explosive, which suits the character. The film is built around a moral tension that never fully resolves — whether a man can want both things and still choose right. Stream A Score to Settle (2019) online on iFILM.
