Running with the Devil features the one and only Nicholas Cage as The Cook, a high-profile henchman in an international drug cartel. His boss (Barry Pepper), known simply as The Boss, pairs him with an ace trafficker The Man (Laurence Fishburne), and commissions them to find out why his cocaine shipments are being hijacked somewhere along the supply chain. This leads to a series of reasonably tense altercations across national borders. Jason Cabell directed this B movie with B+ cast. Arena Cinelounge, 6464 Sunset Blvd., Hollywood; Fri., Sept. 20, various showtimes; $16. (323) 924-1644, arenascreen.org
