The Park

Nic Cage might want to be seen as badass. But his movie Ghost Rider is plain bad. Trite dialogue. Chemistry-less pairings. Predictable plot. Automagically-grown hair.

Eww.

The plot was really all over the place. I like Nic but the character he played was given some of the most nausea-inducing dialogue. I can almost imagine Nic trying hard not to laugh at the over-the-top lines. I’m not sure if they were being tongue-in-cheek or what. But I kept rolling my eyes the entire time.

I was expecting some kind of predictability in the storyline. But man, after the first fifteen minutes, I knew how it will end. The mentor, the love interest. Ugh. It would’ve been palatable if it weren’t for the sloppy execution. Although, on a brighter note, audiences were given a glimpse of a couple of great driving sequences, most notably the one going up the building and the one with the mentor dude. Other than that, the movie is a disaster.

Please, stay away from this movie. You’ll be better for it.
