Even worse than expected

Rating: 1/10 (4 July 2007)

Nicolas cage is never any good in this kind of stuff. Correction; Nicolas Cage is never any good full stop. Maybe that's why they have to compensate by casting a non-entity like Wes Bentley as the villain. He is so useless he makes Cage look acceptable. One thing that really bugged me was the fact that when we saw the teenage lovers Johnny looked about three or four years older than Roxie, and when they were grown up he was suddenly at least ten years older. How does that work? Was it a side effect of the devil's curse? Or was it just that the filmmakers had so little respect for the audience that they expected no-one would notice?
The best thing about the movie by far was the pretty tree.
Don't waste your money.
