You know what this has its issues but I think it comes down to the director having a heart attack before preproduction and its production in America starting in March of 2020.

The themes are great, it has plenty of depth to it, Cage is giving it, it just feels like they didn’t have much footage to work with and like I said the production history sort of explains that.

It’s a respectable experiment that just didn’t quite work but if only we had more directors have the balls to try something like this.

Bill Mosley, Nic Cage, and Ratmans character and his little gang were the only things that saved this movie. I love Ratmans design cause he’s heavily inspired by the cyberpunk era of japanese movies and apocalyptic movies like mad max. Really really reminds me of Burst City and I love him so much <3

I wanted to like this and I mean I don’t hate it and it’s not boring I wasn’t bored at all but it’s just mediocre man fuck idk. Definitely feels like a movie I could only enjoy while wasted and that’s not really an insult cause a lot of movies are more fun intoxicated (mostly comedies) but still :/

I like all the set pieces, i like the insane insane insane amount of extras used in like every scene in the movie, and it looks pretty but like this doesn’t feel like Sion Sono AT ALL. I haven’t seen much from him but this feels nothing like his other movies and I get why people are so disappointed with this.

A Post Apocalyptic Samurai Western with a hyper Nic Cage, Choptop from TCM 2 and visionary director Sion Sono should be more fun that this.

Well at least it looked like Cage was having a ball. Until his one half of his balls exploded.

Cage is our Hero, released from Prison after a botched bank robbery, tasked with finding Sofia Boutella, the missing ‘grand daughter’ of government Bill Mosley.

What follows is visually nice to look at, but takes the thin western concept and drags it out with uninteresting subplots about a nuclear apocalypse and a half baked Battle Royale timed explosive. Usually Caged unhinged can part way save a movie, but here he just seems on a different wave length to everyone else.

Any other Sion Sono titles I should be checking out?
