Title: Burn, Nicholas, Burn!
Product review: What is it with Nicholas Cage and fire lately? Between this and Ghost Rider, Nick up in smoke does seem a pretty fair metaphor for his career these days. It's hard to imagine what anyone was thinking as they put this together. It's beyond bad on so many different levels and never really tries to make much sense of anything. But Nick himself couldn't have been worse if he'd been filmed while reading the script for the first time. It's hard to imagine while watching this mess that these folks are professional actors, and pretty good ones, too, given half a chance. The only thing that would have made this hideously botched remake more bearable would have been to immolate the director in the final scene.
