Between Worlds

2018, 1080hd

Between Worlds is a thriller where a down-on-his-luck truck driver named Joe (Nicolas Cage), who is still not over the tragic death of his wife and daughter in a fire, sees a woman named Julie (Franka Potente) strangling Julie and saves her.

Except she wanted to be strangled.

Julie has the ability to go over to the other side of death and she is attempting to save her daughter Billie's (Penelope Mitchell) soul as she just found out she's in a coma because of a motorcycle accident. Julie saves Billie life but something is not right with her. Joe moves in with Julie and they begin a relationship but this sets off Billie, who becomes very attracted to Joe, which at first disconcerts him but he's also flattered by the attention he's getting that he hasn't had in a while. Eventually, Joe succumbs to Billie and they begin an affair and then finds out why Billie is attracted to him and it set off a series of events which will end badly for some.

Absolutely crazy Nicolas Cage movie, so you already know what you're in for, but Cage is at his over-the-top best here with a plot so batty it doesn't even matter. Most of Cage's VOD movies have been pretty straight-laced, so it's great to see him do a crazy one for once. So many scenes where I couldn't help but burst out laughing at how ridiculous they were, but the sex scene(s) where he reads a memory book authored by Nicolas Cage is all-time crazy. Or the sex scene where he quotes The Exorcist...
