"Hurry Up Tomorrow," Another Modern Moron Movie Review
"Final Destination Bloodlines, a Modern Moron Movie Review
"The Surfer," A Modern Moron Movie Review
You can't stop a wave, born in its storm way out to sea, it's pure energy, all building to a breaking point, and according to the villain in "The Surfer," one must suffer before you can surf.
Almost for the life of me, I wish I could remember everything Nicolas Cage said about surfing in the opening of this flick, a fantastic poem reminiscent of the alluring wording only found in Silver Surfer comic books.
I've never surfed, but it's a way of life for many, a gateway to the ultimate understanding of nature and the origins of everything tangible and spiritual, or so its been said.
"The Surfer's" previews project a certain predictability and those projections are non existence in the actual movie.
Upon viewing the previews of "The Surfer," I thought it was going to be about local surfers bullying The Surfer, aka, Nicolas Cage and The Kid, Finn Little who protrays Cage's son. At a glance, I simply thought, Cage was going to stand up to the locals taking over a public beach and kick their gloutuous maxes, or get his booty beat. Yes, The Surfer and The Kid get bullied, but the story goes way beyond anything I could have ever imagined.
The action is minimal and "The Surfer" releys on plot and dialogue rather then gratuitous action scenes.
Three stars easy for "The Surfer."
