First, the phrase ‘forced to pull off one last heist’ – this is classic Cage country. Whatever you want to call it, Guy Pearce is in it – something that cannot be said for the rest of the movies on this list. Like a lot of these recent Cagers, Justice has something of an identity crisis it’s also known as Seeking Justice. He’s also responsible for Cocktail, but no one’s perfect. Cage is joined in the cast list by people you may have actually heard of, and the film is directed by Roger Donaldson, who gave us some crackers in No Way Out, Species, Thirteen Days and The Bank Job. There’s some real pedigree in this blurb.
DRIVE ANGRY MOVIE NICOLAS CAGE BULLET FACE MISTAKE DRIVER
One is the late Anton Yelchin, the charismatic star of many of my past Netflix faves (track down Odd Thomas and Alpha Dog and thank me later) the other is Paul Schrader, writer of Taxi Driver and Raging Bull and director of American Gigolo and Cat People. Chad Michael Murray is in the cast list, so there’s something for One Tree Hill fans too.Īnd if you think Cage and director Mario Van Peebles (New Jack City) – who, weirdly, starred in Jaws: The Revenge – can do the extraordinary tale justice, then be my guest. Cage versus Christianity! Woah, this might be good. Its uninspiring title suggests Cage plays an airport baggage handler, and that’s not a bad guess, as the blurb confirms he’s a pilot trying to save his passengers from… the Rapture. Sadly, Drive Angry doesn’t quite live up to its rad premise, and a strangely subdued Cage never manages to outact his ludicrous blond hairstyle. Then, the characters jump into a car and mere minutes later are at Long Beach Harbor, which is 500 miles away. ‘A criminal escapes hell’, you say? I’m in. In the Nicolas Cage movie Next, there’s a dramatic scene at the Grand Canyon. Netflix gives Cage rager Drive Angry the extra moniker of Hell Driver (isn’t that an AC/DC song?), which unfortunately detracts from some decent blurbage. A wily arms dealer (Nicholas Cage) dodges bullets and betrayal as he schemes his way to the top of his profession, only to come face to face with his. It just so happens that his latest movie Drive Angry.
You had one job, Netflix blurb: get the title right. There is no other way to start a blog dedicated to Nic Cage than to go after one of his bad movies. What the blurb should read is simply this: ‘Oh no! Not the bees! Killing me won’t bring back your goddam honey!!’ While factually correct (Neil LaBute’s version of The Wicker Man IS a remake of the 1973 psychological thriller), it woefully undersells what is inadvertently the greatest comedy of the millennium. This blurb needs to go home and take a long, hard look at itself. Here, in reverse order of blurb quality, are the ones you should go for based on the one-sentence description. There are currently 11 Nicolas Cage films on Netflix UK. Netflix blurbs are a minefield, varying from genius to downright perplexing, but we’ve used them to help you decide which Cage to lock yourself into. But what do you do when sampling more under-the-radar Cages? That’s right: you follow the blurb.
