Next (2007) Review on Forever Geek

April 27, 2007 by David

One of our sister sites, Forever Geek has a review up on a “sci-fi” action movie called Next, starring Nicholas Cage.

The premise is such that you might feel a little  Deja Vu‘d about, with Cage playing a stage magician that can see the future, though only two minutes ahead, and pretty much only things directly effecting his own life.

Here is a quick bit from the review:

This is a speculative fiction/action movie hybrid flick that really harkens back to the good old days of action movies. In a lot of ways it reminded me of early Bruce Willis action movies, or the best of the Van Damme and Segal flicks from the 80s. There is a stereotypically strong female FBI agent played by Julianne Moore, a hot chick who is ready to jump in the sack after meeting a stranger no more than 4 hours before played by Jessica Biel, and we even have the stereotypical foreign bad guys…and it’s a nice mix of foreigners too…but we know they’re evil…because they don’t speak English. All the staples of an 80s action flick are here…except the ending.

In the end Michael gives it a B rating.
