At last, a film worth watching for just the sheer pleasure of watching. And starring my old mucker Nic-annoys me as a lead but I still like a lot of his films-Cage.
In truth, I think Nic felt he needed to make up for that awful cheese fest that is Ghost Rider with a similar styled affair, but hey, for adults this time.
Cars, explosions, Insane stunts along with ridiculous posing and dialogue (all intended of course) make this a film to reward the senses. And a film that feels it can steal from Shoot 'Em Up clearly knows it's audience from the first frame.
Loved every minute, with only the soundtrack letting things down for me at times. St Nic proving again that it is possible to love his films whilst despising his acting at the same time.
William Fitchner saving the day for Nic in this one. He's never bad Merely Badass. maybe I should do a list of Nic Cage films I hate him in but still love and then investigate how the movie rises so well above the lead.

Great film. Long may modern exploitation films continue (Machete, Hobo With A Shotgun, Piranha)!
