Cage is the problem

Rating: 8/10 (27 March 2009)

The thing with "knowing" is that you have to go and see it with the proper mood. I mean what do you expect? You "know" that you're going to see a light fictional film with great visual effects and a "naive" script as usually happens with those films. Nevertheless, this is the "blockbuster" film that you want to go and see on the big screen and not all these "cultural" west European or Asian films with great, thoughtful meanings that are proper for your couch and your DVD player. This film is entertaining by all means. Period. It scares you and impress you and offers some excellent pictures and scenes. I liked it. What I didn't like is a "flat" performance by a good actor as Nicolas Cage who seemed to me that this time couldn't feel and express himself with the emotions that evoke on such circumstances as in the film's plot.
