I rented this movie from RedBox
Okay, hands down this movie is amazing!
Probably one of the most perfect roles to put an actor like Nick Cage in ever. His style just fits like a glove.
This is a modern movie but made to feel like and pay homage to the over the top style movies of the 80's. And it gloriously recreates that feel like an 80's cult classic. Things like Evil Dead or Lost Boys. But then takes that and cranks it up to a whole new level.
The film is beautiful, and even the random cartoon animated dream sequences are gorgeous. And as a cult movie... literally about a guy seeking revenge against a crazy cult that kills his wife, is balls to the wall insane.
From a demon biker gang to Nick Cage literally fighting a redneck in a sword fight with chainsaws. Like, actually fighting each other with two different chainsaws in a sword fight style battle.
The acting is amazing, the style is great and the feel of the film just sucks you in.
This is a highly recommended by my part and I say it's a must see. Especially for Nicolas Cage fans like me.
Most of his direct to video films the last few years have been pretty hit or miss. (Mom and Dad and Looking Glass being pretty good but Humanity Bureau and Between Worlds being horrible)
But this one is a smash hit! and amazing!
I say rent this and check it out. You won't be disappointing. Fully a 5 star film.
Mistake Status: Found a few on the first watch. I will for sure try to buy this film and collect Nick Cage movies in the future. I fully plan to revisit this movie.
Brother Swan: Better to burn out than fa... hkk... blurb.
