Between Worlds

It's truly an incoherent mess with a haunted Lolita theme going on. Cage proves he's willing to take on a role in any video as long as he gets to be the lead and show off his bizarre facial expressions and suffering emotions. If you're into seeing a scruffy hobo Nick running around the house in tight underwear, and behaving like a sexually frustrated redneck trucker, high on crack and bourbon, then this is the movie for you. It's a surreal experience.

Nicolas Cage is an odd one, he's a household name, AAA star yet for the last few years he's been doing a vast number of straight to DVD movies and the majority have been truly awful.

Between Worlds see's him play yet another unhinged character where he can let out vintage crazy Cage who finds himself in a relationship with a girl who has a daughter that's recently come out of a coma. Supernatural-esque stuff follows and though the concept is fairly sound the execution isn't.

Also starring Franka "Run Lola Run" Potente and Penelope Mitchell the movie demonstrates a degree of acting that you simply shouldn't be seeing at this level. Many performances are awful and Cage is most certainly not on point here, at several points he almost lowered himself to his infamous "Not the bees" level.

As far as his b-movies are concerned this is one of the worst, I cringed, I facepalmed, I questioned Cage's career track once again.

The Good:

Franka Potente

Concept is okay

The Bad:

Awful acting

Poor pacing

Whole thing felt rushed

The depressed truck driver Joe (Nicolas Cage), who grieves the loss of his beloved wife Mary (Lydia Hearst) and his daughter in a fire, meets Julie (Franka Potente) being suffocated by a man in a gas station toilet. He hits the man and rescues the woman, but she explains that her daughter Billie (Penelope Mitchell) is in coma and she needs to die since her spirit needs to save Billie. They head to the hospital, Joe helps Julie and Billie is saved. But soon they realize that Billie´s body was possessed by the spirit of Mary and they do not know how to fix the situation.

"Between Worlds" is a lame film with terrible and messy melodrama, awful acting of Nicolas Cage and unnecessary long sex scenes. This overrated movie has many fake reviews to promote the flick, many of them with one or two lines, and is a waste of time. The manipulated IMDb is no longer a reference to movie lovers. My vote is four.

Title (Brazil): Not Available

I stopped watching when I realized it was more about sex, than anything else. "Soft Porn" describes this movie. Its something you would expect to see on Cinamax, or HBO late night early morning.

So, if you like that sort if thing, then it's great. If not, find something else to watch.

The story follows Cage, a down-on-his-luck movie actor haunted by the memory of his deceased career. He meets Julie, a spiritually gifted movie producer who enlists Cage in a desperate effort to find the lost profits of her comatose studio. But the spirit of Cage's dead career proves stronger, possessing the young woman's film budget and determined to sabotage her unfinished movie with the straight-to-DVD curse.

5/10 So bad it's entertaining.
