"Between Worlds" is yet another crazy Nicholas Cage movie in which he pulls out all the stops on his deliberate overacting, and manages to score some points.

This has something to do with a mother played by Franka Potente who can briefly visit and alter things in the afterlife while being strangled (!). Cage plays a substance-abusing trucker grieving the tragic loss of his family. He stumbles upon Potente while she's being choked by a bruiser in order to "save" her comatose daughter. Cage "rescues" her only to become part of her life, and ends up asked to choke her himself. He begins a torrid affair with her and moves in with her and the daughter when the young woman comes home from the hospital. Since he's just had his truck seized by bill collectors, this couldn't come at a better time. But alas - the daughter has somehow become possessed by the spirit of Cage's dead wife! And also wants to sleep with him!

If this sounds ridiculous, be assured that it is. And it gets even more so. But the cast and especially Cage play it in a rough, gutteral working class way that makes it interesting. All the way to the explosion of stupid violence and melodrama that is the ending. And somewhere in all this there's a message about how one should not mess around with the supernatural.

If this were played straight with middle class or higher characters it would be just another dullish ghost movie. But since it is played manic with working poor ones, it remains watchable and different. Sort of like if Charles Bukowski wrote a ghost movie. It's terrible with its totally out-of-control ending, but, intentionally or not, is a funny watch a good deal of the way through.

One reviewer here makes fun of Potente's "on and off" German accent as if he thinks she's trying to hide it. But her German nationality is mentioned during the film's dialogue, and the reviewer obviously wasn't paying attention. As a German acting in a nutty movie made in Spain that is portraying a setting in the American South, she does a good job.

This is viewable on Netflix and is recommended for viewers looking for something flawed but somewhat creative in its own strange, perhaps accidental way.

The story follows Cage, a down-on-his-luck movie actor haunted by the memory of his deceased career. He meets Julie, a spiritually gifted movie producer who enlists Cage in a desperate effort to find the lost profits of her comatose studio. But the spirit of Cage's dead career proves stronger, possessing the young woman's film budget and determined to sabotage her unfinished movie with the straight-to-DVD curse.

5/10 So bad it's entertaining.

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.

Was it awful on purpose or by accident? It was like watching a car wreck - mesmerized by how bad it was. Join me please in properly rating this at 1.

A movie made for people who want to see nicolas cage having sex while reading from a book written by nicolas cage about his sex memories

I could write a better movie in two minutes, while on acid and fighting ten men. And I ain't bragging.

Low budget - or so it seems - movie. Bad script, bad acting. Nicholas Cage hits new bottom. A complete waste of time. Avoid at all costs.

Having no expectations and not completely understanding the plot prior to watching this film, did not feel as if this movie is as bad as its current 4.7 rating and as bad as some reviews are claiming. It may not great but at least it was entertaining.

Between Worlds is far from a classic or a great film but given what it is, it is quite enjoyable at that of a supernatural type thriller. Far better than the previous Nic Cage film "211". This film has a bizarre plot and is unrealistic with its spirits and such but there is an entertainment value in watching Nicolas Cage playing these over the top characters, with awkward sex scenes and the daughter is eye candy enough to enjoy. Don't expect too much and take it for what it is. Rewatched 06 01 24' as remembered.

The acting is horrible, everything about it is. Don't waste your time. Had to turn it off.

Whoever thought this would be a serious "good" film has not watched a Nic Cage film in quite some time. I knew what I was in for merely from the cover. If you don't like "bad" movies, this is not for you. This was by far one of the most entertaining films I have seen. Nic Cage at his best. The music is strangely out of place, the acting is outrageous and forced...and I loved it. I don't know if this was intentionally, but it had me glued to the screen. It's not for everybody.

Nicolas Cage finds himself as a greasy truck driver with a tragic backstory. It's hard to say if this movie is a supernatural movie because sometimes it forget that plot point until it's relevant again. This movie is mostly about Nicolas Cage getting hot and dirty with some straight sex which is kind of funny honestly. If you came to this movie expecting a deep plot look elsewhere, but if you wanted Nicolas Cage having a lot of weird sex with honestly some great scenes that feel out of place when they hit. A lot of the supporting cast for this movie does a good job and get some time to shine themselves. Ultimately what a weird movie, but real enjoyable with some beer.

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.

There was no redeeming qualities except the few times I laughed at the obserdity of it.

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

Boring. Vile un likeable characters. Pointless gratuitous sex scenes. Switched off early on. Couldn't bare to watch anymore pornography and little if no story. Don't even try it awful movie.

This has got to be the worst Nicolas Cage movie I have ever seen. So so bad. Not a single good thing to say about this movie. He's just gross the whole way through. So many disgusting sex scenes. Nobody wants to see that. I kept hoping something would happen to redeem this movie but it never happened. Don't waste your time or money. Fortunately, it was a free rental so the only thing I wasted was my time.

Nicolas Cage has been in some of my all-time favorite movies, (Knowing, Next, Sorcerers Apprentice, National Treasure and its sequel, all GREAT movies). But this one? Really Nic? Bills to pay? There's obviously no dialog coach onset, because the female lead's german accent varies, not just scene to scene, but cut to cut. The gratuitous sex scenes are overdone, and very much not done with any real empathy for the lead character's reuniting with his "wife". Just grind grind grind. I always watch the latest Nic Cage movie, and sometimes they're not one of his best. This is, without doubt, his worst.

This rates right up (down?) there with John Travolta's Speed Kills. Now THERE'S a film that needs a flea collar.

You have to watch it as a B-class movie (which it is) and look at Cage as a never-before-seen actor. It suddenly becomes quite watchable and even funny and Cage... becomes freaky as hell. I've seen it twice. First time it was... embarrassing (4 starts), second time... the way I've described - it was good (6 stars).

Don't make my mistake, don't fall into the "Nicolas Cage is playing, movie must be good" ... NAAAH!

• He got a very bad role.
• Acting was bad.
• Actors not good at all.
• Screenplay, a big joke.
• Too many sex scenes out of blue and poorly filmed.
• Incorrect out of body experience.
• Listening to the actors saying the lines is very painful.

This movie have a big score here, but is awful, I cannot score it too much, so ... My score for this movie is 2 / 10 ( and i'm very kind with this score )

Not sure why everyone is hating on this film.. I tried to, but just couldn't hate it. Instead, I got into the theme and started to enjoy it.

When it started, it certainly looked cheaply produced, but as it progressed, I could look past the flaws and it grew on me as a cult comedy thriller. People need to compare apples to apples.

Clearly this is not a big budget Hollywood production, but instead a cleverly written and well directed film, and gained my respect when I found out this was amateur writer/producer/director Maria Pulera's only second film she's ever made. I've seen much more seasoned writers and directors unexcusabley fail on many occasions. Yes, her inexperience in directing her cast is evident, and the screenplay could have used some tweaks, but the directing was on point and the story itself rather unique in a raw, funny and sexy way. Kudos to her for creating something so entertaining on her only second film.

This was the perfect role for Nicolas Cage, and I'm glad he took the part. I can't see anyone else playing his character as good as he did. This is not a blemish on his resume but a victory. Bravo Mr. Cage for entertaining us as you did! Penelope Mitchell was also great in her role. I did however find it odd that half way through the film, Franka Potente developed an accent. Something the director should have picked up on. The cinematography and editing were also done well, but the score however was annoying and very out of place in certain scenes.

Otherwise, this film was surprisingly entertaining. Ignore the wannabe critics, watch it with an open mind, remember this is an amateur filmmakers 2nd film, and don't nit-pick. I'm sure you will be entertained and enjoy it as I did.

A well deserved 8/10 from me.

Sure the acting is a bit cheesy..... And the story is kind of corny but I strangely enjoyed it.... It's definitely not as bad as everyone is saying.... Just go into it with low expectations and you might be surprised like I was!

Anyone who gave this more than 1 either works for the production company or were paid by the cast and crew.

Seemed like it was going to be a really good film at the start,,but went downhill fast,it was more like a soft porn movie and the acting was terrible,,thought Nicholas Cage was better than this,,dont waste your time on this movie.
