PRISONERS OF THE GHOSTLAND (2021) ¢ 1/2

Nicolas Cage, Sofia Boutella, Nick Cassavetes,
Bill Moseley, Tak Sakaguchi, Takato Yonemoto
A screwed-up, mixed-up "Mad Max" knockoff starring Nicolas Cage as a bank robber who's released from prison and sent into a place called the Ghostland to rescue a woman who's disappeared out there. He has three days to bring her back - or maybe five - before the black leather jumpsuit he's wearing explodes. There's some cool set decoration (the Ghostland stuff), but Cage looks old and tired, and the script's a real mess. Also, Nic gets one of his balls blown off. Sound like fun?
