Knowing

If I knew then, what I know now, I would have never watched KNOWING. I don’t know how Nicolas Cage gets involved in these mediocre “save the world” films that have some elements of “I must solve the puzzle”, but he seems to be the best at it. This film is like a NATIONAL TREASURE meets SIGNS meets some other terrible apocalyptic film. Nicolas Cage did give a good performance, but great actors can only do so much with bland writing and a lifeless story. Throughout the film the audience is confused and it’s not the good type of being confused – it’s the kind where the answered question leave you upset and wondering why you spent the last 2 hours watching this film. The ending was probably one of the most redeeming parts of the film. I DID enjoy the final shot of the children in the new-pseudo Garden of Eden. Other than that, there was some good use of the new F150 during the high adrenaline scenes.
