Review of Prisoners of the Ghostland (2021) by Jamess — 20 Nov 2021
A convict is tasked to find a kidnapped female from a doomed, restrictive area while wearing explosive devices set to detonate within a specified time. You'd think after John Carpenter successfully sued the makers of the Guy Pearce starrer Lockout, that filmmakers would think twice before "borrowing" the main plot of Escape From New York.
Guess we call it an homage. Nicolas Cage scowls and yells (before the afore mentioned bombs start ticking), and acts the middle aged tough guy. But not like Jason Statham tough guy. More like drunk uncle in a bar tough guy.
Striving for style on a budget, it's more "eh" than anything.
