Between Worlds

The depressed truck driver Joe (Nicolas Cage), who grieves the loss of his beloved wife Mary (Lydia Hearst) and his daughter in a fire, meets Julie (Franka Potente) being suffocated by a man in a gas station toilet. He hits the man and rescues the woman, but she explains that her daughter Billie (Penelope Mitchell) is in coma and she needs to die since her spirit needs to save Billie. They head to the hospital, Joe helps Julie and Billie is saved. But soon they realize that Billie´s body was possessed by the spirit of Mary and they do not know how to fix the situation.

"Between Worlds" is a lame film with terrible and messy melodrama, awful acting of Nicolas Cage and unnecessary long sex scenes. This overrated movie has many fake reviews to promote the flick, many of them with one or two lines, and is a waste of time. The manipulated IMDb is no longer a reference to movie lovers. My vote is four.

Title (Brazil): Not Available

It's truly an incoherent mess with a haunted Lolita theme going on. Cage proves he's willing to take on a role in any video as long as he gets to be the lead and show off his bizarre facial expressions and suffering emotions. If you're into seeing a scruffy hobo Nick running around the house in tight underwear, and behaving like a sexually frustrated redneck trucker, high on crack and bourbon, then this is the movie for you. It's a surreal experience.

Nicolas Cage is an odd one, he's a household name, AAA star yet for the last few years he's been doing a vast number of straight to DVD movies and the majority have been truly awful.

Between Worlds see's him play yet another unhinged character where he can let out vintage crazy Cage who finds himself in a relationship with a girl who has a daughter that's recently come out of a coma. Supernatural-esque stuff follows and though the concept is fairly sound the execution isn't.

Also starring Franka "Run Lola Run" Potente and Penelope Mitchell the movie demonstrates a degree of acting that you simply shouldn't be seeing at this level. Many performances are awful and Cage is most certainly not on point here, at several points he almost lowered himself to his infamous "Not the bees" level.

As far as his b-movies are concerned this is one of the worst, I cringed, I facepalmed, I questioned Cage's career track once again.

The Good:

Franka Potente

Concept is okay

The Bad:

Awful acting

Poor pacing

Whole thing felt rushed

So I thought, hey nice artwork, must be a bomb. I was right and I give Cage all the chances in the world because he's amazing. This is a sparkling turd from the acting partially but at times it is indie awesome and worth watching ergo 5/10. The camera work and lighting is as junior amateur as you can get, and the dialog is painfully cold read at times. The idea is not new but not bad in itself. The placement and use of sex everywhere is ok, but I don't need to see Cage and Run Lola Run bang that much with tv news anchor lighting. Silhouettes, in and out of focus, not just bangbros like footage.

The nuttiness that is cage shines in points here, but even he thinks "wtf is this line it is so bad and dry or my scene partner isn't there yet..." so I have to advise you to watch this and maybe jump a little through it if you can and enjoy the sparking turd for what it is. A new level of "oh no this was bad but I can't press STOP".

I stopped watching when I realized it was more about sex, than anything else. "Soft Porn" describes this movie. Its something you would expect to see on Cinamax, or HBO late night early morning.

So, if you like that sort if thing, then it's great. If not, find something else to watch.
