Nic Cage as a surfer dude?

Unlikely, but who cares?

Nic Cage as an Australian?

No one would swallow that one, but whatever!

And do we believe that?

Thats the Cage brand!

Cannes Film Festival 2024 Movie Reviews

The sign Locals Only doesnt put him off.

The young ones here are mean.

Their elders Nics own generation, supposedly, though thats another stretch are meaner.

The men and boys kneel, chant and growl like dogs.

Nic cant get a coffee.

He offers his watch as collateral.

So is his surfboard, so is his phone, so are his shoes.

And yet, somehow, it never occurs to him to drive away.

Thats how exploitation films work.

Which is the grindhouse ethic at work, for sure.
