Nearly nine hours of Nicolas Cage! Prisoners of the Ghostland Languishing in the lockup of the garish Samurai Town, career criminal Hero (Nicolas Cage) has a shot at a pardon from The Governor (Bill Mosely) if he can invade neighboring, nuked-out Ghostland and rescue precious, abducted sex worker Bernice (Sofia Boutella). To make sure he stays on mission, our protagonist is fitted out with an explosives-laden suit that'll blow if he deviates. Expectedly out-there English language bow for director Sion Sono co-stars Nick Cassavetes, Tak Sakaguchi. 100 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English. Willy's Wonderland With his car broken down in the Nevada desert, a quiet drifter (Nicolas Cage) didn't have any options for cash past an after-hours janitorial job at a condemned family entertainment center. Unfortunately for him and a gaggle of trespassing teens, the facility's eight animatronic mascots came to murderous life-and it doesn't look like they'll win enough tickets to see the morning. Outrageous horror-comedy actioner also stars Emily Tosta, Beth Grant, Ric Reitz, Grant Cramer. 82 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English. Face/Off At his best, director John Woo turns action movies into ballets of blood and bullets grounded in character drama. Face/Off marks Woo's first American film to reach the pitched level of his best Hong Kong work (Hard-Boiled). He takes a patently absurd premise--hero and villain exchange identities by literally swapping faces in science-fiction plastic surgery--and creates a double-barreled revenge film driven by the split psyches of its newly redefined characters. FBI agent Sean Archer (John Travolta) must play the villain to move through the underworld while psychotic terrorist Castor Troy (Nicolas Cage) becomes a perversely paternal family man while using every tool at his disposal to destroy his nemesis. Travolta vamps Cage's tics and flamboyant excess with the grace of a dancer after his transformation from cop to criminal, while Cage plays the sullen, bottled-up agent excruciatingly trapped behind the face of the man who killed his son. His attempts to live up to the terrorist's reputation become cathartic explosions of violence that both thrill and terrify him. This is merely icing on the cake for action fans, the dramatic backbone for some of the most visceral action thrills ever. Woo fills the screen with one show-stopping set piece after another, bringing a poetic grace to the action freakout with sweeping camerawork and sophisticated editing. This marriage of melodrama and mayhem ups the ante from cops-and-robbers clichés to a conflict of near-mythic levels. Snake Eyes Set in Atlantic City, an assassination attempt thrusts a detective (Nicolas Cage) into a murder case with 14,000 potential suspects and a deadly conspiracy where nothing is what it appears to be. (English), Set in Atlantic City, an assassination attempt thrusts a detective (Nicolas Cage) into a murder case with 14,000 potential suspects and a deadly conspiracy where nothing is what it appears to be. Next Las Vegas showroom magician Cris Johnson has a secret which is a gift and a curse which torments him: he can see a few minutes into the future. Sick of the examinations he underwent as a child and the interest of the government and medical establishment in his power, he lies low under an assumed name in Vegas, performing cheap tricks and living off small-time gambling 'winnings.' But when a terrorist group threatens to detonate a nuclear device in Los Angeles, government agent Callie Ferris must use all her wiles to capture Cris and convince him to help her stop the cataclysm.
