Good at this. 48 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,560 This is a very special episode of Cage Magical, 49 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,160 one around about meeting Nicolas Cage, where we take 64 Nicolas Cage 50 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:20,700 movies and face him off until we find out what Nicholas Cage's best film is. 51 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,100 But he just put out a new one. 52 00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:24,400 So we're going to talk about that for about 15 minutes. 53 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,640 But then that's it. 54 00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:28,980 Yeah. Nothing really exciting. 55 00:02:28,980 --> 00:02:30,840 I don't know what you're talking about. That movie was great. 56 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,980 OK. No spoilers then. How about that? That's fine. 57 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,180 We're not going to tell you anything about the movie. 58 00:02:36,180 --> 00:02:39,480 We're just going to tell you that Nicolas Cage had red hair 59 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,260 that matched his red jacket. 60 00:02:41,260 --> 00:02:44,080 Yeah, it was a sick red jacket, a crime jacket even. 61 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,460 Oh, he does have a crime jacket. 62 00:02:45,460 --> 00:02:46,620 This also takes place in Vegas. 63 00:02:46,620 --> 00:02:48,800 So part of the Vegas quadrilogy at this point. 64 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,340 Yeah. Of films we've reviewed that Nicolas Cage is filmed in Vegas. 65 00:02:52,340 --> 00:02:56,880 That was part of and so Kinnaman has a sick goatee. 66 00:02:57,340 --> 00:02:59,980 Yeah. Well, he really looks like a dirty dad. 67 00:03:00,380 --> 00:03:02,180 He is a dirty. He is kind of a dirty dad. 68 00:03:02,180 --> 00:03:05,880 Yeah. Joel Kinnaman's wife is giving birth when the cage takes him hostage 69 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,580 on a little ride about through the Arizona 70 00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:12,020 interstate way system. Yeah. 71 00:03:12,020 --> 00:03:15,460 A tour of the it would be Nevada, Nevada. 72 00:03:15,460 --> 00:03:17,760 That's right. High jinks may or may not have ensued. 73 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,700 Mm hmm. They do. 74 00:03:19,700 --> 00:03:22,600 That's the only reason why you would continue to watch a movie. 75 00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:25,780 Yeah. If people drove with no hijinks, that'd be weird. 76 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,380 Maybe Joel Kinnaman has a past. 77 00:03:30,340 --> 00:03:31,840 Nick Cage seems to think so. 78 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,280 Yeah. So the premise is Nick Cage picks up Joel Kinnaman. 79 00:03:36,820 --> 00:03:38,880 Well, yeah. 80 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,660 When Joel Kinnaman arrives at the hospital, Nick Cage gets in the car 81 00:03:43,460 --> 00:03:46,920 under the assumption that Joel Kinnaman is this person 82 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:51,060 that did him dirty once upon a time in Boston. 83 00:03:51,460 --> 00:03:55,400 Nick Cage, obviously sporting a very sick Boston accent. 84 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:56,540 He finally got it. 85 00:03:56,540 --> 00:04:00,680 One of his strongest like he's used it for every other regional like 86 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,580 regionality. And now it's finally, finally time to be from Boston. 87 00:04:07,180 --> 00:04:09,280 He got it. You did it, buddy. 88 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,380 Somebody out there is just writing a movie for that. 89 00:04:12,380 --> 00:04:16,820 They're like, oh, man, Nick Cage does such a sick Boston accent. 90 00:04:16,820 --> 00:04:18,980 I'm going to write a movie just for him to do it. 91 00:04:19,180 --> 00:04:21,360 And it works. I loved it. It worked great. 92 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,620 I am bummed this didn't get a wide release because it truly is 93 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,620 a lot of fun and I really enjoyed it. 94 00:04:28,900 --> 00:04:31,260 Yeah. I can also see why it was real enjoyable. 95 00:04:31,260 --> 00:04:35,340 Didn't get a wide release because it is niche. Yes. 96 00:04:35,940 --> 00:04:40,440 Yeah. I don't know what the budget was on this, but 97 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,440 I mean, it's mainly two guys in a car, 98 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:49,180 very few location sets, very small cast, 99 00:04:49,180 --> 00:04:53,380 but really kind of dialed in good performances from both 100 00:04:53,380 --> 00:04:55,880 Joel Kinnaman and Nicholas Cage. 101 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,760 And I could not take my eyes off Cage this whole movie. 102 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,760 It wasn't just because of the bright red hair. 103 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,320 No, his performance in this was outstanding. 104 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:04,720 Oh, yeah. He was dialed in. 105 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,760 I mean, especially coming right off watching Ghost Rider 106 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:08,860 Spirit of Vengeance. 107 00:05:08,860 --> 00:05:11,800 Like, oh, yeah, you're an actor. Yeah. 108 00:05:12,100 --> 00:05:14,100 And he man, he gets wild in this. 109 00:05:14,100 --> 00:05:17,780 If you like a wild Nick Cage, this is a good good movie. 110 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,840 Yeah. Just really let him settle into it. 111 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,940 Even like up until his very last minutes, like is like the movie 112 00:05:27,420 --> 00:05:31,460 concludes with just crazy ass Nick Cage. Yeah. 113 00:05:32,060 --> 00:05:34,320 It's a ride. Yeah. No. 114 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,660 I mean, not to spoil the ending, I will say the last five minutes 115 00:05:37,660 --> 00:05:40,060 of this film are probably the weakest. 116 00:05:40,060 --> 00:05:43,260 It's not it's not a twist, but something comes out 117 00:05:43,260 --> 00:05:47,040 that I don't think served the larger narrative of the film. 118 00:05:47,340 --> 00:05:50,440 Yeah. The last five minutes of script are just kind of weak. 119 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,240 Yeah. So it could have been a tighter ending. 120 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,720 But you know what? The movie we got is still good. 121 00:05:56,780 --> 00:05:58,080 That's my only critique of the film. 122 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,320 The rest of it, I enjoyed start to finish. 123 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:05,060 I mean, I'm inclined to agree it had a really good run. 124 00:06:05,060 --> 00:06:08,740 The intensity is like just up there through the whole movie. 125 00:06:09,940 --> 00:06:11,340 Good, good drive. 126 00:06:11,340 --> 00:06:13,040 It never feels like it slows down. 127 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,880 Now, even in the moments when they're not like 128 00:06:16,420 --> 00:06:21,180 actively moving in the car, but like you hit like a location set 129 00:06:21,180 --> 00:06:26,120 or some hang up in the story, the tension continues to build the whole time. 130 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,100 Yeah. Nicholas Cage sings a little song. 131 00:06:28,100 --> 00:06:30,400 And you never know what's going to happen. 132 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,500 Oh, it's it's a good movie. 133 00:06:33,500 --> 00:06:37,740 Yeah, I'm looking forward to watching this again, probably this week 134 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,700 with Josie, because I'm sure she'll want to see it as well. 135 00:06:41,700 --> 00:06:43,500 Yeah. Peter, check this one out. 136 00:06:43,500 --> 00:06:45,080 I think you'll really like it. 137 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,540 There we go. Recommending it to our significant others. 138 00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:52,760 So I love Peter's wife. 139 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:54,120 I love that baby. 140 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,700 But, you know, that everyone sells would be would be such a cute couple. 141 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:02,560 You finally got what you wanted, Peter. 142 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,060 We we recorded a tight episode. 143 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,140 Hmm. Mouth noises. 144 00:07:14,780 --> 00:07:16,840 So where are we? Where are we putting this on the bracket? 145 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,320 I mean, I'm inclined to say good, good. 146 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,180 I go good, good on this. 147 00:07:21,180 --> 00:07:23,520 I'm all for good. Good. This was a great movie. 148 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,860 Good Nicholas Cage performance, wild Nicholas Cage performance 149 00:07:26,860 --> 00:07:32,800 and wild Nicholas Cage performance while not being like over the top. No, 150 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,640 but he definitely exists on his own level in this movie. 151 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:40,340 Like he's a different energy than Joel Kinnaman's character. 152 00:07:40,340 --> 00:07:41,400 Oh, 100 percent. 153 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:46,380 But it's not in such a way that it breaks the reality of the situation. 154 00:07:46,380 --> 00:07:48,620 It doesn't lessen the tension at all. 155 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,380 No. Good movie, though. 156 00:07:51,380 --> 00:07:53,080 I'd watch it again. I highly recommend it.
