Whilst
looking for the latest Raw is War that I taped last night
I put the wrong tape in the video, I don't know who taped
it or when, but I came across this film which luckily was
near the end where Willem Dafoe gets his head blown off by
his shot gun. This little teaser therefore made me rewind
to the begining and start watching what looked to be a promising
film. Did it live up to early expectations? Read on this is
getting exciting.
Now
there has been a lot of negative things said about St. Nick
at BBM (he's on the enemies list for a kick off and is therefore
doomed for all eternity) and you may think that I have lost
all my morals, but I was pleasantly surprised by this film
that I had never heard of.
It's
a kinda type of love story, road movie, violent type all in
one thing in which The Cage plays a psycho that has just come
out of prison after serving his sentence for destroying someone's
head on a marble floor in a lobby, the deed and results of
which we are kindly allowed to watch. He is met by his girlfriend
who has disobeyed her mother to go and see him and consequently
run off with him for which mummy gets a bloke to track him
down with the idea of finally killing The Cage. He ends up
in prison again for six years after a bungled robbery attempt
and comes out to what I think is his wife and a new son who
he then walks away forever from because he thinks his son
will be better off not knowing him. He then sees the light
and goes back to them.
It's
also full of the woman out of Jurrasic Park with her kit off
and after writing all this I have decided to change the mark
from 6.5 to 7 because it deserves it. I'm now looking forward
to watching Red Rock West tomorrow night which also stars
The Cage with Dennis Hopper I've just read the preview in
the paper and it looks quite promising. Could The Cage turn
from most hated actor to one of my all time favourites in
the space of two nights? Who knows, only time will tell. Oh
my god the tension is almost unbearable. Only one day to go
until we find out so stay tuned to BBM, we got some dancing
to do.
