I liked enough of the movie to tentatively recommend it to people. It felt overly long, though, especially the first half.

Wow. Just watched this on Shudder last night. Again: wow.
Went in expecting a "standard" vengeance flick and some over-the-top histrionics from Mr. Cage. What I got was something unlike I have ever seen.
Just an absolute acid-trip thrill ride, with its own special pacing. I almost want to call this genius stuff, if for no other reason than it completely flipped my preconceptions.
And Nic Cage: well done, sir.
The score. The visuals. The whole thing. And that Bill Duke monologue was just wonderful.
Now...on to Beyond The Black Rainbow for me.

Since the thread was bumped, might as well mention that if you have $2k to drop, you can buy this limited edition, crazy real looking Cage mask. Only 30 will be made.
