Zitate
Evan Lake: [to the CIA director] You've got your head so far up Obama's ass that all you can see is his shit anymore.

Alternative Versionen
Director/screenwriter Paul Schrader had the film taken away from him in post-production. In 2017, he released an alternate cut that he title Dark that ran 75 minutes. Speaking of the newly created version online, Schrader said, "[The movie] was filmed in 2013 and released in 2014 under the title "Dying of the Light". The film was taken from me after the first director's cut, re-edited, scored and mixed without my input. I offered to revisit the film, cut and mix a new version at my own expense but was denied permission by the producers. This cut was created using work print DVDs. I had no access to the original hi-res footage and unmixed sound. I used those limitations to my advantage when creating this new film. I was working toward a more aggressive editing style when "Dying of the Light" was taken away from me. "Dark" represents the direction I was hoping to go."

The ear was literally the most fascinating part of this movie

Nicolas Cage is Evan Lake, a dedicated veteran CIA agent in the last stages of his career. He has been riding a desk for the last years and does not like it. The most elevating moments are the motivational speeches he is asked to do for the new CIA agents in training.

When the trail of an old enemy, presumed dead for decades, surfaces and coincides with Lake being diagnosed with a terminal form of dementia, the choice is easy. He is going to settle one last score.

The story has some potential, but unfortunately the movie never gets past the B-movie predicate.

The ear I mentioned in the summary seems to live a life of it's own. My attention kept being drawn to it. In one of his battles with terrorists, Cage's character gets tortured. He gets a cut in his ear. After twenty years the cut is still there and looks very awkward. At some point I swear I could see the edges of the cut move together and mouth some words to Cage. After rewinding I thought I faintly heard these words: "Nicolas, get out of here, you are too good for this. Save your career before its too late!"
