winter_elfI was interested in this N. Cage action/car/blow 'em up action flick. It was definitely interesting. I hadn't realized it was an 'R'. Well.. that point made in the first.. oh 2 minutes? Let's just say, the director thought the F word and T&A naked moments made his day. *sigh* Now I know why I prefer PG-13 action flicks.
I was was more than a little annoyed that this film was ONLY in 3D :( Ugh. No choice on seeing it in another version. Because the only thing the 3D was for was flinging body parts or weapons.
Cage was good - but then he has a very gleeful time in B movies with chewing scenery. William Fichtner was also having a gleeful time as the 'Accountant' sent to bring Cage back to hell. They both left a huge body count behind them in their race across the South. Amber Heard was the plucky girl sidekick, and a surprisingly strong fighter, no one needed to rescue her, thank you very much.
The movie definitely accomplished what I wanted - escapism with bonus explosions.

This one was okay... it had a hard time getting a nice pace going... screeming action and then sudden halts into lame dialogue. I felt like I was in a car with transmission issues.
The T&A was nice, but I agree that it was woefully one-sided. All the good looking guys kept their clothes on. Only the beer belly guys no one wanted to see took their shirts off.
As a vengeful Terminator, Nick Cage did a great job.
It should get an award for the most over-the-top nude sex scene gun fight.
