Story:
In Colorado, John Milton interrogates the only survivor of a car wreck he caused, seeking Jonah King, the leader of a Satanic cult who murdered Milton's daughter and took her baby. In three days, King and his followers will sacrifice the child at midnight. After the man tells him where Jonah King is, Milton sets off for Louisiana to find his grandchild. He is then being followed by a strange man in a suit who identifies himself as "The Accountant".
At a diner in Oklahoma, Milton meets a waitress, Piper, who gives him a ride. After dropping Milton off, she goes to her fiance Frank's house to discover Frank is having sex with another woman. Piper viciously fights the other woman, and gets into an argument with Frank, who then decides to pulverize Piper. Milton rescues Piper, knocking Frank out, and they leave in her car. Later, The Accountant comes to Frank's house, still looking for Milton. Angry, Frank attacks the Accountant, who kills Frank with a broken baseball bat. Police arrive, and the Accountant presents an FBI badge, telling them to help him find Milton, who is supposedly an escaped convict.
Milton and Piper then stay for the night at a roadside bar/motel. Piper later spots Jonah King, who orders his men to find and kill Milton. In the motel, Milton is having sex with a waitress, and without stopping is able to kill most of Hill's men; Piper kills the final one. The Accountant and the police arrive to find Milton. Both officers get killed, and Piper and Milton escape. The Accountant pursues them, but is shot by Milton with a 5-barreled shotgun. This in turn causes The Accountant to lose control of the car and then crash. Despite not wanting anything to do with the situation, Piper agrees to help Milton to find his grandchild.
Further up the road, Milton and Piper come to a church where Jonah is inside with Milton's infant granddaughter. During the struggle, Milton is shot in the eye and left for dead. Jonah leaves with Piper in a RV. Soon after, Milton gets up, killing almost everyone in the church, and catches up with Jonah. He manages in rescuing Piper, but Jonah escapes with the child. Back at the church, The Accountant finds someone who is still alive and he tells the Accountant that they shot Milton but he survived. He tells the Accountant that they have supposedly made a pact with Satan and that sacrificing the child will bring hell on earth. The Accountant is, however, amusedly skeptical of this.
Nearing their destination and needing a new car, Milton stops at the farm of an old acquaintance, who is shocked to see Milton alive. Piper angrily demands an explanation for how Milton could've possibly survived being shot in the skull. He says that Milton was a career criminal, but was killed over 20 years ago. Milton explains that he was condemned to Hell, where the damned are punished by being forced to watch their loved ones suffer in real life. Claiming that his daughter was "the only good thing he ever did in his life", seeing King abuse and murder her enraged him to the point he was able to escape his bonds. The bizarre looking gun that he carries with him is called the "Godkiller", which he stole from the Devil himself, and has the ability to not just kill a person, but to erase their very soul from existence.
Just before storming the prison, the Accountant is finally able to catch up with Milton and Piper. The Accountant assures them that King and his followers have made no such pact with Lucifer (in fact, cults that kill in his name are apparently one of his greatest annoyances). He agrees to let Milton complete his objective, but is still going to return him to Hell when it's all over.
Minutes before midnight, Milton literally crashes the gathering, and he and Piper kill nearly all of King's followers. Just before he can kill the child, Piper is able to recover the Godkiller from the Accountant who tells her to hurry if she intends to help Milton. When she gets to the fight between Milton and the cult she tries to shoot King, misses and is blown back by the Godkiller's kick. King, while boasting of his power, then beats Milton while he is crawling to the gun which had landed next to the altar and out of King's view. Just when King is about to deliver the final blow the Accountant briefly distracts him allowing Milton time to pull out the Godkiller and shoot him at near point-blank range vaporizing King's body and soul.
With his mission completed, Milton asks Piper to watch after his granddaughter, which she agrees to. The Accountant arrives to bring him back to Hell. Milton graciously enters a car that the Accountant summons (only after demanding that he get to drive it) and cockily tells the Accountant that if he escaped Hell once, he can surely do it again. Almost hopefully, the Accountant says he doesn't doubt him. The film then ends with a portal opening, and Milton and the Accountant driving across a long fiery bridge back into Hell.

Hmm, how should i rate this? If just based on my opinion, i love it and probably will score it even higher than 7/10. But the story is kinda confusing, beside the cult and sacrificing, i don't know whether cage is a human or devil in this film. And there's also a guy "Fichtner" who is a God? A protector of cage? OMG, i really don't know... But the action wise is good... except this, i found that Nicolas Cage is always stuck in this kind of film... a lil bit like "ghost rider"....
