Indiana Cage

Rating: 6/10 (10 July 2008)

It's not Nic Cages or the filmmakers fault, but Indiana Jones did set a standard for adventure movies. And if it involves artifacts or anything of value (as in this case) than the first thing that springs to mind is Mr. Jones.
Of course there are differences and this movie can stand on it's own two feet! Especially with a comedic sidekick like the one on display here. He's worth the ticket/renting price alone. Maybe you think his jokes are so good, that you have to buy the DVD. Whatever the case is, this movie is just plain good ol' fun. And while the female lead does not entirely convince here (maybe playing the most beautiful girl in the world - Troy - was already her peak? The question comes to mind, because how could you possibly top that role, right?), the movie has a feel good vibe to it. While Mr. Harvey Keitel is more a bystander, he does add to the flavor of the movie. Far from his "Bad Lieutenant" days, but that wouldn't really suit the movie now would it?
Just don't try to think to much and/or compare it to the Indiana Jones franchise and you'll enjoy it! :o)
