It has some campy moments that made it ok for a one-time background watch, but this really was pretty bad. I've seen worse, but I would not recommend. I love a pretty broad spectrum of horror, from artsy/surreal cinematic masterpieces to so-bad-they're-good cheap trash, and I'm pretty forgiving of flaws, but this. . . ugh. Tonally confused, mediocre to terrible script, and felt like chore to watch.
It’s a good movie. A little Kill Bill, a little Kung Fu Hustle. The costumes and set were amazing.
Unfortunately mr. cage has lost it talent wise . His films are getting worse , he’ll be on phone adverts next.
how can a Nic Cage film directed by Sion Sono be THIS mediocre?
I must say. . . This is truly one of the most interesting movies I have ever devoured with my eyes! I laughed, I cried, I cringed, I cheered. To be clear, I laughed through the whole movie, I cried at how long was left of it as I constantly checked the time remaining, and I cringed at nearly every incoherent scene (which was all of them), and I cheered when the "movie" had finally wrapped. Please, for the sake of hearing Nick Cage scream "Testicle", I urge you to 🧐enjoy this fascinating film. ;)
