Sympathy for the Devil
David Chamberlain (Joel Kinnaman) rushes to meet his wife at the hospital. They are expecting a baby. As he arrives, a mysterious man (Nicholas Cage) jumps into his car, points a gun to his head, & says drive. This psychological thriller becomes almost a two-person cat-and-mouse road trip game to hell. Cage plays this quirky odd passenger as a psychopathic tormented killer who has no remorse for any collateral damage. Tension & madness builds as the body count rises. Slowly, the passenger reveals the true nature of his mission. He thinks David is a guy named James Levine & he is out for revenge. Is the passenger delusional? Who will survive the night? Who is telling the truth? What would you do to protect your family?
Alien gives it 2½ “rabbit’s foot” stars out of 4.
