If you’re a big fan of Nicolas Cage, then _Sympathy for the Devil_ is worthwhile. Cage’s role as the passenger is like an amplified version of Castor Troy from _Face/Off_ with a touch of Frank Booth from _Blue Velvet_; he is totally and relentlessly unhinged with a killer violent streak. His chemistry with Joel Kinnaman is intriguing, as well. Cage is the one pulling all of the powerful punches, but Kinnaman dodges and weaves like a pro; he’s the unsung hero of their interactions. But the storytelling in the film is clunky at best. Most of the energy of writing the film seemed to go into getting these two characters together. Once _Sympathy for the Devil_ starts diving into the motivation behind each character is when it starts to fall apart. **Full review:** http://hub.me/aq8ah
This film is bonkers, Nicholas Cage is in rare maniacal form with his performance. Sociopaths are my least favorite persons I share the planet with, and I've found the performance here to fire me up beyond reasons, bravo Mr. Cage. The brutal madness is inspired and quite extraordinary, and it's worthy of a watch to anyone who can except the viciousness of t the film. This is a story inspired by what can only be unending pain, and I felt it so deep as a viewer that I am grateful for this experience.
