First, the phrase ‘forced to pull off one last heist’ – this is classic Cage country. Whatever you want to call it, Guy Pearce is in it – something that cannot be said for the rest of the movies on this list. Like a lot of these recent Cagers, Justice has something of an identity crisis it’s also known as Seeking Justice. He’s also responsible for Cocktail, but no one’s perfect. Cage is joined in the cast list by people you may have actually heard of, and the film is directed by Roger Donaldson, who gave us some crackers in No Way Out, Species, Thirteen Days and The Bank Job.
There’s some real pedigree in this blurb.
One is the late Anton Yelchin, the charismatic star of many of my past Netflix faves (track down Odd Thomas and Alpha Dog and thank me later) the other is Paul Schrader, writer of Taxi Driver and Raging Bull and director of American Gigolo and Cat People.
Chad Michael Murray is in the cast list, so there’s something for One Tree Hill fans too.Īnd if you think Cage and director Mario Van Peebles (New Jack City) – who, weirdly, starred in Jaws: The Revenge – can do the extraordinary tale justice, then be my guest. Cage versus Christianity! Woah, this might be good. Its uninspiring title suggests Cage plays an airport baggage handler, and that’s not a bad guess, as the blurb confirms he’s a pilot trying to save his passengers from… the Rapture. Sadly, Drive Angry doesn’t quite live up to its rad premise, and a strangely subdued Cage never manages to outact his ludicrous blond hairstyle. Of course, you'd be forgiven for not getting your hopes up. ‘A criminal escapes hell’, you say? I’m in. G ood news, film fans: Nicolas Cage's latest magnum opus, Drive Angry 3D, hits cinemas nationwide on Friday. (Photos: 20th Century Fox/Paramount/Columbia Pictures) Nicolas Cage is an actor like no other. Sometimes though some movies feel like they just werent made for him. From left: Nicolas Cage in Raising Arizona, Face/Off, and Honeymoon in Vegas. Netflix gives Cage rager Drive Angry the extra moniker of Hell Driver (isn’t that an AC/DC song?), which unfortunately detracts from some decent blurbage. I love Nicholas Cage movies, the crazier the better. You had one job, Netflix blurb: get the title right. What the blurb should read is simply this: ‘Oh no! Not the bees! Killing me won’t bring back your goddam honey!!’ While the versatile actor said hed want to make Face/Off 2, there are loads more exciting and unique Cage-led movies that deserve sequels. While factually correct (Neil LaBute’s version of The Wicker Man IS a remake of the 1973 psychological thriller), it woefully undersells what is inadvertently the greatest comedy of the millennium. 10 Nicolas Cage Movies That Should Get Sequels. This blurb needs to go home and take a long, hard look at itself. Here, in reverse order of blurb quality, are the ones you should go for based on the one-sentence description. There are currently 11 Nicolas Cage films on Netflix UK. Netflix blurbs are a minefield, varying from genius to downright perplexing, but we’ve used them to help you decide which Cage to lock yourself into. But what do you do when sampling more under-the-radar Cages? That’s right: you follow the blurb.
