Sam Elliot's performance is the only redeemable portion of this movie

Rating: 2/10 (24 March 2020)

I entered this with no great expectations. I was so happily surprised by Sam Elliot's introduction of the legend, that I actually for a minute, allowed myself to think this could be much better than I expected. But alas, the silly way the father's cancer bit was developed, brought my expectations back in check, and the poor casting choice of the devil was heartbreaking... How could anyone miscast the devil?! Make budget cuts elsewhere (on an already expensive movie) but the devil?!!!
The writing of course could have been much better. The 4 demons, belong in the worst slot of the already very lackluster CW Network; Cage is Cage, some love him, some hate him. I must admit I have a soft spot for him because of "Wild at Heart" but I'm aware it's likely that David Lynch glow I adore. However, Eva Mendes is good, and Sam Elliot is brilliant (as always) and a treat to watch in everything he does. Sam Elliot and the preamble of the Ghost Rider legend are the best part of this movie. I always finish every movie I start, but it took real effort to sit through this one.
