If you were programming a season of the best of the worst from Nicolas Cage’s filmography – in other words, his most interesting/outlandish/crazed performances in low-budget films – this kooky thriller would certainly be a good candidate. It features an entertainingly deranged performance from Cage, who sports a helmet of bright-red hair and a maroon smoking jacket that makes him look like a leprechaun turned lounge singer, topped off with a broad Boston accent.
Oh my God I’ve got to see this
That was my reaction too. Unfortunately, it seems to have had a very limited cinematic release, so we may have to wait for the home video releases.
Yo ho ho, I just finished watching it lol
And what did you think?
It was ok. The plot was more predictable than I would have liked, but it’s got style and Cage is always fun.
I was sold by the headline, everything else is gravy. Crazy gravy.
