Worth a watch, worth a remake

Rating: 6/10 (17 July 2009)

Okay; I'll get right to the point: the plot is very good, I'd go almost as far as brilliant, the dialog is terrible. Absolutely awful. Now, I think (and I could be wrong) that it was mostly the dialog writing that brought down the acting of Nicholas Cage and most of the other actors in the movie. My favorite actor in the movie? They guy who owned the gas station. He was the only person who delivered a consistently believable character. Nicholas Cage was terrible. Unconvincing, and he most definitely over-acted. However, like I said, the plot was very, very good, possibly brilliant. And I really liked the interesting view on the Bible. (Perhaps Genesis got confused with Exodus and God is an alien...?) In my opinion, this movie is worth a remake in about ten years with better writing and better acting.
