It comes from the less known Israeli filmmaker Yuval Adler, who has a few class B movies in his pocket, a mystery thriller.
Fright night (a great freaking night, as Nicholas Cage likes to say) under the lights of Las Vegas
Starring Joel Kinnaman and Nicholas Cage, who is also producing, we are grabbed from the opening shot music and scenes of a moody typical night in Las Vegas,but you know,what happens in Vegas? As the story follows David,a caring family man (Joel Kinnaman), as he is preparing for the big night of his second child birth,but then gets mysteriously caught in a rough game with an unhinged stranger (Nicholas Cage) with red dyed hair to match the suit that goes with it.
As the unknown passenger switches between the seats from the back one to shotgun, you get the feeling that it's about to come down tonight while the cards start facing up, slowly building up the tension and stress throughout its 90-minute running time.
With the least unnecessary scenes and a good soundtrack, you're treated to a solid performance from Joel while he anxiously struggles to unravel the past as the clock is ticking, and Nicholas Cage's outstanding acting and terrific facial expressions as he throws cheesy but catchy classic lines and shows off with his smooth-ish dance moves and singing, and an awesome Cage Rage moment with his roof-bursting temper. Both of them carry the film to an acceptable direct ending at the moment that the screen is burning with exploding molotovs.
Similar to Michael Mann's Collateral from 2004 in many ways, with a lower budget and vibes like in Ryan Gosling's Drive from 2011.
Sympathy for the Devil delivers a good watch to enjoy while making you wonder: what does the sound of screaming rabbits seem like?

This movie answers the question that nobody asked: "What if we did Collateral in the desert, with Nicolas Cage and a boring script?".
I know the comparison may not be fair, I mean, the only common threads are a guy with a gun enters a stranger's car, threatens him with a gun and asks him to drive, leaving a chaotic path behind him.
The makers of this movie try to hold the audience captive, by making us think why the bad guy is doing what he's doing, but honestly, the lines are so bad and the twist is so weak, that not even Nic and Joel can save the story.
By the end of the movie, you are left with two unlikable characters and an unsatisfactory conclusion.
Honestly, this feels like a short story, stretched out to a full length feature.
Having said that, if you just want to see Nic Cage's "Caginess" being let out once in a while, you do get to see it, I just don't know if it's worth wasting 1h30 of your life for that.

Another role that seams to be written for Mr Cage. Weather it was or not only Cage could pull it off with such ease.
From the red velvet jacket,to the violent gun totting psycho,to the quotes and unpredictability. This just oozes Cage.
I really didn't know where it was even going but could sit and watch this on form Cage all day.
Very low budget but excellently made even in the style of him.
There's a great anticipated twist that your obviously waiting for and stacks of crazy moments to satisfy the soul.
As you may have guessed it's a must for all Cage fans but won't be everyone's cup of tea.

I went in to this film expecting a really bad plot and boring characters. Truthfully because of the reviews probably wouldn't of even give it the time of day if it wasn't for Nicholas cage but I am so glad I did. This movie was such a enjoyable film I really enjoyed the plot and Nicholas cages character was outstanding.
Also read while looking in to the film that the Red hair on the character was Nicholas cages idea and it made the character in to something different.
The movie had action violence and even humour with a few plot twists was slightly disappointed with the very ending but all together thought it was really enjoyable and would recommend.

First of all, I got to praise the actors, great performance. If it wouldn't be Cage, it probably wouldn't be nearly as good!
Then the neon, the music, the night road trip atmosphere, the initial mystery - this is all good stuff I enjoyed about the movie.
On the other hand, it gets a bit tedious still, as movie is non stop dialogue between two main characters and I was waiting for more mysterious twist, for a deeper hook, a better face off and a heavier outcome... As the eventual twist, it was good enough, I guess, ironical, lives up to the name of the movie. Yet I feel it could've been better, there was a room for better.
Anyhow, overall, I did enjoy the movie.
Its another enjoyable modern Cage flick that has style.
