Atrapado en la tormenta

When I see that Nicolas Cage appears in the cast of a movie I wonder what it's going to be this time. Nicolas Cage is a good actor, everybody knows him and he hasn't to prove anything anymore, but the truth is that he accepts a lot of roles in bad movies. I don't know any actor that played in really good movies and also real stinkers so it's always a guess what it will be the next time. Grand Isle is interesting, a story with some suspense and decent acting from the whole cast. It all begins promising and that remains like that for most of the movie but towards the end it feels a bit unfinished and stupid. But it's not the worst movie with Nicolas Cage, so that's already something.

I enjoyed it simply because it didn't take place anywhere in California or NYC, and also because it had a real ending with a conclusion. I'm so tired of new movies just ending in the air like someone forgot to write the last act.

Flicking through channels, saw this film was on &, as I like Nic Cage & Kelsey Grammar, thought I'd give it a watch. It's not a bad enough film to be fun unfortunately just kind of boring. Had to watch with subtitles too as I could not understand half of what Kelsey Grammar & the main actress were saying, their Southern accents were so strong (I'm from the UK so that probably didn't help...). The guy who played Buddy wasn't a terrible actor (he'd most likely be ok in a better film). Feel kind of sad 2 actors I loved are acting in films like this now but I guess they need the money...

The movie starts alright, after 20-30 minutes it becomes quite good, after 40 it becomes interesting, and then around an hour or so, it does complete 180 and turns into....Nick Cage movie :)

It seems as if they had no money to pay the original writer to the fullest, so after 75% completion of screenplay, they fired the original writer, and then gave it to their children to do the rest.

All in all very tense, very interesting....and very typical and pointless in the end.

The plot is like titillating a man's fantasy. A guy goes to repair some fence in an isolated house on Grand Isle. He is sex deprived for six months due to his wife's post delivery depression. In the bungalow, he meets a couple, a hot lady n her alcoholic impotent husband. The lady seduces the guy,......something happens but I dont want to spoil, he has sex with her but we dont get to c any nudity except for her glutes for few secs.

The plot is heavily lifted from the 90s erotic thrillers n Out of Time (2003). The budget is low n the space is confined. Ther is some hand held cam stuff n unnecessary darkly lit scenes. What can I say about our Nic. This time he is sporting his long locks like the one from Con Air but those muscles r missing. 2019 has been very busy for him.
