He Is not Protected by His Guard Angel

Rating: 6/10 (6 March 2007)

When the motorcyclist Johnny Blaze finds that his father Barton Blaze (Brett Cullen) has a terminal cancer, he accepts a pact with the Mephistopheles (Peter Fonda), giving his soul for the health of his beloved father. But the devil deceives him, and Barton dies in a motorcycle accident during an exhibition. Johnny leaves the carnival, his town, his friends and his girlfriend Roxanne. Years later Johnny Blaze (Nicolas Cage) becomes a famous motorcyclist, who risks his life in his shows, and he meets Roxanne (Eva Mendes) again, now a TV reporter. However, Mephistopheles proposes Johnny to release his contract if he become the "Ghost Rider" and defeat his evil son Blackheart (Wes Bentley), who wants to possess one thousand evil souls and transform hell on earth.
The comic book "Ghost Rider" is not released in Brazil, but the movie is entertaining and funny, with a good story based on Faust and great special effects. The fight between good and evil has a great cast, with Nicolas Cage, Peter Fonda, Sam Elliot and Eva Mendes and I have seen exactly what I expected to watch. For a Tuesday night in a movie theater, and later on DVD, this film is an excellent option. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "Motoqueiro Fantasma" ("Ghost Rider")
