This week we lost legendary movie tough guy Michael Madsen, a veteran of crime flicks in the 80s, 90s and beyond, most famous with my generation for his role as the psychopathically iconic Mr Blonde in Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs.
He also has a small, but memorable role as a wounded soldier in today’s CAGE MATCH.
Primarily a coming of age vehicle for Sean Penn who is best with Cage, both primed to sign up for combat in WWII, but first they must wait out their anxious last weeks and navigate the girls (in the the form of Elizabeth McGovern), parents and the rich asshole kids like Crispin Glover who shun bowling alley etiquette.
The narrative conflict primarily stems from Penn thinking McGovern is too rich for his working class background and his and Cage’s differing attitude towards courtship. It’s ok, but nothing too memorable. The pool hall scene is the highlight.
