Viewing Notes

I really wanted to see this in the theaters but it didn’t stick around long enough and it never seemed to work out. Bummer, because I actually enjoyed it quite a bit, as I suspected I would after seeing the trailer way back when.

Cage’s performance is oddly straight, if a bit wooden at times, but that doesn’t really detract from the movie at all.

Christopher Lee’s cameo is excellent, and Ron Perlman obviously has some fun with his role.

I’d really like to do a double feature of this and Black Death, since they both touch on the same subject matter, in more ways than one.
