Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
tin-borgman It's one of those movies that, when you are clicking through 572 channels of useless brain numbing odd cooking, weird sporting, reality programming, infomercials, you suddenly land on a movie ... you watch for a few seconds and realize it's one you've seen 6 times already so you keep clicking, then land on THIS movie and you watch for a few seconds, and settle in and enjoy the whole darn thing because, even though it's a bit odd and melodramatic, i't's GOOD! And then you go on imdb and talk about how everyone dissing it is wrong because you just really enjoyed it.The next day you realize it was 2am and you always enjoy whatever you finally find to watch after clicking through 572 channels.But it isn't too bad. Nic is always entertaining if nothing else, and usually he adds something else.. oh ya, great acting because no matter how bad the movie is he always shines.I give it a 5 because when combing through bad movies to get through a few hours, this is a good bad movie to watch.
Bob Rutzel With most stories, we see a beginning, a middle and an ending. This one has a sort of beginning, a middle and really no ending. Ray (Nicolas Cage) and Maggie (Robin Tunney) buy a motel in the hope of starting a new beginning after the death of their child. The motel is a can of worms and we know this by things that happen for no apparent reason and we never know who did them: a dead pig in their pool, paint on the motel walls, comings and goings of really strange people.We see Ray work on fixing things around the motel, perhaps too many scenes with this going on, then he discovers a 2-way mirror and watches lesbians kiss, dominatrix scenes and the usual sex scenes. He is shocked, but looks anyway, but never stays for too long. We don't see anything erotic. Policeman Howard (Marc Blucas) keeps coming around and we feel he is looking at Ray as a person of interest in the murder of a girl some time ago when Ray came around looking at the possibility of buying the motel. The director could have fitted Howard with more of a form fitting shirt too. Very distracting, like 3-sizes too big. Ben (Bill Bolender) the previous owner of the motel is nowhere to be found to explain all the goings on at the motel. He just has had enough and got out and now it's Ray's problem.Some scenes are uncomfortable to watch, but that only lasts for a few minutes and we see there is nothing there. The ending is just cut short and this is where we should know everything that went on and why. Didn't happen.I am giving a somewhat spoiler alert because this is not a good movie, and actually, hardly any movie at all. Nicolas Cage needs to adjust and pick better scripts. Remember he just recently did a movie where the parents are out to kill their kids? Not good by any stretch. See? And now this one that goes nowhere. Strong advice: stay away. (1/10)Violence: Yes. Sex: Yes, one time. Nudity: No. Humor: No. Language: Yes. Rating: F
Michael Ledo Following the death of their six year old daughter, handyman Ray (Nicolas Cage) and Maggie (Robin Tunney) buy a motel in a small town from an ad on Craig's List. After the transaction, the old owner doesn't want to be found. Ray discovers the small town doesn't like newcomers. He also discovers a crawl way with a two way mirror in room 10 and that his motel is frequently used for prostitution. The problems mount as the body count goes up. Deputy Howard (Marc Blucas) has his eye on Ray. This is a run of the mill Cage film. The voyeur aspect was just a small aspect of the film and not as exploited as most "b" films. We had to settle for the multifaceted facial expression of Nicolas Cage for entertainment. Guide: F-word. Implied sex. No nudity.
Peter Like most cage movies, it was poor. weird storyline and boring, dont waste your time nothing much happens.
