a B-movie with A-actors acting like in C-commercials

Rating: 2/10 (19 March 2007)

If it would not have been for Nicolas Cage this movie would hardly even make it in the theatres but straight to the B-movie section of your next video store. Very poor acting. Luckily Eva Mendes has a nice cleavage, which helped over a few scenes. And Nicolas Cage - great actor as he is - at least let you hope that he is going to say something noteworthy - unfortunately he disappoints. Actions scenes, special effects: been there, done that - nothing new and impressive enough to keep you alert. Mask and makeup: without any doubt very impressive - for a horror movie produced in the sixties. All together a very predictable movie with a very predictable plot that made me yawn several times.
