I busted a nut
Drew EdelsteinJan 31, 2021The most absurd thing about Sono Sion’s “Prisoners of the Ghostland” — a sukiyaki psych-Western that casts Nicolas Cage as a criminal on a mission to rescue a runaway girl from a post-apocalyptic wasteland before the bombs attached to his balls explode — is that it didn’t…
davidehrlichSep 15, 2021It's sad what money makes you do. Sion Sono will probably make more money from this than from all of his previous masterpieces combined, but after watching Prisoners of the Ghostland, I don't know who he is anymore. Prisoners of the Ghostland is a farce that's funless…

The natural destination for boring Nic Cage meme-heads and equally boring gonzo cinema adherents would have to be this watered-down piece of only-relative weirdness. Reliably for Sono it brings up nuclear paranoia and Fukushima, simultaneously bolstered by some impressive…
matt lynchOct 11, 2021A movie that sounds insane and incredible when you describe what it is to someone else but is surprisingly dull to actually watch. One of the few times I thought Cage being on a different wavelength than every other performer actually kinda harmed the movie.
Josh LewisSep 19, 2021I loved the concept of this movie, but not much else.

Sion Sono’s The Nutcracker
CinemaVoid 🏴☠️Sep 19, 2021Something happened. I don't know what happened, and perhaps it's not for me to say or even to speculate, but I believe Nicolas Cage has lost someone he truly loved. Much like Brian De Palma repeatedly returning to stories of impotent men unable to save a crucial figure in…
anna nomalyJan 31, 2021Needlessly eccentric and "crazy" for most of its runtime, but there's a samurai battle set to Jim Croce's "Time in a Bottle," and I'm only a human man for chrissakes.

- Ggrizz is "meh" onPrisoners of the Ghostland
I can do weird and I love to see full on cage but I just couldn’t get into this one. Loved cage in it, of course and the governor was great. Just not for me.
Therion likedPrisoners of the GhostlandWorth it purely for Nic Cage screaming about his character having a painful injury to a sensitive area in a specific scene. It’s also visually interesting.
Hasvik is "meh" onPrisoners of the Ghostlandwhat did I just watch. should have liked this more. style over substance but has some exploding testicle so can't say it wasn't a bit entertaining
- Jen dislikedPrisoners of the Ghostland
I love so many of Cage’s crazy films recently but I could not get into this one. It was just too weird for me. Not my thing.

No movie with Nicolas Cage, directed by the wonderfully weird Japanese director Sion Sono, should be this taxing, drawn out, and plainly boring.

You know exactly what brand of “weird” to expect from Nicolas Cage and Sion Sono, but what you might not expect is how much the film feels like a death dream about movies.

Prisoners of the Ghostland exists entirely outside the norms and conventions of moviemaking. Really there’s only one word to describe it: nuts.
