Wig on

Rating: 5/10 (2 April 2011)

Gee, who can we get to do a supernatural thriller who hasn't already done one? After all, Bruce Willis did "The Sixth Sense," Harrison Ford did "What Lies Beneath," Richard Gere did "The Mothman Prophecies," Kevin Bacon did "A Stir of Echoes," Denzel Washington did "Fallen," Ah-nuld did "End of Days," Dennis Quaid did "Legion," Michael Keaton did "White Noise" and Kevin Costner did "Dragonfly." Why, there's Nic Cage, of course! Heck, he's tried just about everything else , including a video game movie and that sci-fi flick where his character can see the future. In this case, we'll put him in a real potboiler, a cross between "The Mothman Prophecies" and "Close Encounters," with a little of "The Forgotten" mixed in for good measure. Cage comes across a piece of paper his son has been given from a 50-year-old time capsule. The sheet has numbers on it that, viewed one way, predict certain disasters. Meanwhile, his young son starts getting visits from some creepy, Men in Black-type guys who could be angels, devils or possibly even aliens. The script is incredibly flimsy, and the disasters depicted are your typical crappy CGI, to boot. Cage sleepwalks through the whole thing. But it's always fun to see what wig he's wearing.
