It was so far out there that the movie suffered from it, as it grew annoyingly and frustratingly tough to sit through, as most of the things made little to no sense, or was just so wacky that you just don't get it. The acting in the movie was as to be expected. I wish that Bill Moseley would have been given more on-screen time, because he was - hands down - the best thing about the movie.
Sure, it was nice to see Sofia Boutella on the screen, but she seemed to be running on auto-pilot. And this was, for better or worse, just another notch in the strange movie career of Nicolas Cage. The characters and the dialogue throughout the course of "Prisoners of the Ghostland" was pretty bad, and that reflected rather poorly on the overall movie.
I am sure that there is an audience out there for director Sion Sono's movie "Prisoners of the Ghostland". But as it happened to be, then I wasn't the target audience. And I can't claim to have found much enjoyment or entertainment in this particular movie.
My rating of "Prisoners of the Ghostland" lands on a generous two out of ten stars. We later discover he was unsuccessful in his get away. Meanwhile Bernice Sofia Boutella with a couple of friends opt to escape from Samurai Town and they wind up in the equally Mad Max surreal town of Ghostland where no one ever escapes.
Cage is given an opportunity of redemption by bringing back Bernice to the Governor Bill Moseley. His suit will explode in five days if he fails. How does he relieve himself in that? Like many Japanese films the color is beautiful and there is a radiation, nuclear explosion background.
The camerawork is generally static and attempts to keep the story inside the casing with long takes, much the same as another awesome film Columbus from a year ago. The work behind the camera is stellar, before the camera the film is conveyed by the colorfully exasperating execution of Linus Roache. While Nicholas Cage is getting all the acclaim for his execution, you really don't see quite a bit of him for the main portion of the film.
Working up the strain and wildness is really Roache who plays the self-still, small voice radical religion pioneer who requests to be seen as a divine being. With an execution that mirrors Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs, Roache is the setup yet Cage is the person who drives it home. Regal Coming Soon.
