Laughable,predictable and boring!

Rating: 1/10 (17 August 2013)

I've TRIED to like Nicolas Cage - believe me,I've tried - but the man Is so boring and totally un-versatile It's like seeing the same character In every last thing he's been In! The fact that his real name Is Coppola (Yes,his Dads' brother Is Francis Ford Coppola)and that he alleges to have changed his name to 'avoid the connection and make It on his own merit',he nevertheless had his career kick-started by his uncle Francis. In short,two hours of him being stuck under a pile of rubble Is enough for him to show his entire gamut of acting 'skills'. Now,to the Movie Itself. An absolute pile of flag-waving garbage - and that's about It,really. We might,of course,ask - 'what the hell was the huge, $63,000,000 budget spent on' (other than lining the pockets of Cage and Co.)? I've tried to work It out but other than a few million cups of expensive coffee for the cast and crew,well,who knows? There's just nothing good to be said about this embarrassing pile of Cinematic refuse. Oliver stone - and Mr.Cage,of course - must have been laughing all the way to the bank. If anyone outside of the 'good old US of A' has anything good to say about It, It'll be a miracle. Don't waste your time on this....and demand a refund.
