Between Worlds

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".

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.

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.

This film is not like most others. That is a good thing if you consider most others are either Disney or Riefenstahlesque Superhero movies...

Great acting, Potente is a solid actress, Cage was Cage (a good thing), Penelope Mitchell was intense and I did not now Lydia Hearst was also an actress! The supporting cast was on point and seemed fleshed out. Good job!

The story was interesting, the execution was good. Here and there one could see that the production had some budget constraints, but everybody did a pretty fine job of working with those limitations.

Cinematography and lighting were unconventional but gave the film a nice look and feel and were thankfully consistent. Editing was solid, there was only one edit that broke the flow (a double take on Cage).

It was a film for me.

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.
