One of
the abiding mysteries of the world is how Nicholas Cage could
squander the potential and talent he showed early on in his career in
a series of big budget ham hocked dribble inducing action flicks. But
then again maybe it’s not that mysterious if one looks at the
paychecks involved. Anyway this is a big budget ham hocked dribble
inducing action flick about a girl accused of being a witch in the
plague ridden times of the crusades. Cue Cage and Ron Perlman as
retired knights who undertake to escort her across Europe to a remote
monastery and a series of escapades on the way ensue. The mood and
look of the scenes are the best thing in it, everything and everyone
else seems to be a by the numbers on autopilot affair.
