Brutal

Rating: 2/10 (17 February 2007)

The computer generated special effects and Nicholas Cage can not save this disaster of a movie. The plot and acting are so brutal that I kept waiting for the punchline to an awful joke. If you go see this with a wife or girlfriend be prepared to have to suffer through at least three chick flicks to make up for it. Nicholas Cage, the unfortunate carnival worker who sells his soul to the devil for his father's health, plays this role as though he were cracking a private joke with the director. How do the stars of these movies sit through Hollywood premiers and have the audacity to look their peers in the eyes afterword? I guess with so many bad, cliché action movies it become some sort of bad movie club. Give me back my two hours !!
