Glorious Extravagance

Rating: 9/10 (5 September 2000)

This film takes the dumb action film idea and stretches it absolutely to the limit. The cliches are all the way through the film, and at no point does this film ever take itself seriously.
Nicolas Cage is excellent as Nicolas Cage - and to me, that's a great character to play (It's his little girl's birthday!). John Malcovitch is also great as the main villain, an Steve Bescumi (who always adds something to a film) somehow manages to makes his sick twisted serial killer character somehow likeable.
I know a lot of people hate this film - I cant help but feel they haven't realised the joke.
