Who likes an advanced preview time… i do. Also didnt think id get one for a while but here i am. Usually they are mondays which at the moment is the last of us time. So tonight its time for some unhinged Nic Cage. What could go wrong.
Trailers, Mission Impossible (think i will be able to quote some of the film before i see it) Final Destination, Megan 2 & i cant remember the other one. I was just happy we didnt get that irritating unlimited advert.
2 thirds full & a mix of ages as always for an unlimited screening.
& then the film started… thats 100mins of my life i will never get back.
Im just going to write this & it might not make sense but i just need to get this film out of my system & never ever think of it again.
I’ll start with the two positives.
1) that beach looked lush & it looked so warm & sunny & it was wonderful
2) Nicholas Cage is the best part of the movie
Thats it…
Like i love me some weird unhinged Nicholas Cage & i was fully prepared for some of that, but it was just disgusting & full of lad culture & bullying & being jerks & owning whats not yours & being complete & utter wankers to anyone whos not apart of your gang. I got angry. Very angry.
It was not funny. Maybe i laughed once. There was someone proper full on laughing in my screening clearly they act like that in real life, cos the rest of the cinema dead silent.
There was no thriller element, the suspense was that it dragged on far too long. I dont like looking at my watch at the cinema to work out how long weve got left but i did it 4 times in this film & then being like what do you mean we are still going.
No one learnt a life lesson, it was all about hardening up, but then at the end, they all just were like meh & the life lesson was a waste of time as the cycle will just reset on it.
There was one point i thought it was a dream, but then no it wasnt it was just torture & being dicks to each other. Nah fuck that, i dont have time for that with my films, dont make me angry at my movies.
It wanted to be clever but it just so wasnt.
The script was lazy, it made me feel nauseous at points it was just urghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh….
you know when people say its not all men & its like 10% of them… the guys in this film… THEY ARE THAT 10% OF WANKERS & LADS WHO ARE JUST RUDE & DONT CARE WHO GETS HURT!
Im going to stop typing now, im angry typed & i now dont ever want to think about this film again… 1 star is generous. Its just not for me ever….
