Sympathy for the Devil (2023)

#CageClub returns with yet another new Nicolas Cage movie this year
-- with even more to come -- in the form of Sympathy for the Devil!
This movie marks the return of "Crazy Cage," which (while fun to
watch) does not a good movie make. We talk about how Sympathy for
the Devil is reminiscent of other (better) movies, like Collateral
and A History of Violence, and its determination to add twists and
turns to draw out suspense without layering in new narrative. We
talk about the things we liked (and the things we didn't), whether
the movie wanted to look like a COVID movie, and the strange visual
effects on display throughout. We re-assess the types of movies
Cage makes (and look ahead to the rest of the year) and talk about
Rotten Tomatoes' ratings twisting our perceptions of this film.
