Outlandish But Fun.

Rating: 6/10 (25 August 2013)

Feature Film adaptation of the comic book has Nicholas Cage playing motorcyclist Johnny Blaze, who unwisely made a deal with the Devil, only to find himself turned into a flaming-skulled crime fighter! OK...
This is at least acted and directed with style and energy, even if you never believe a word of it. Peter Fonda plays the devil, in a very droll performance, but it is Sam Elliot who steals the film as a mysterious caretaker who guides Johnny into how he should handle his destiny and powers, since he understands all too well. Fun climax with Elliot and Cage will leave you cheering, though again, suspension of disbelief is quite high here! There was a sequel, which I haven't seen.
