This could've been a respectable retro crime picture. Apparently, nobody told the cast.

There's not much to invest in here. Not even the final Cage-Grammer face-off.

Rated: 1.5/4

It's long been clear that Cage has opted for quantity in his movie roles, but maybe a little quality control wouldn't hurt.

Rated: 1.5/4

A decent movie that without being a standout, it accomplishes its objective. Nicolas Cage puts his token mad outbreaks to use in his role as a sometimes funny manic-depressive which makes this production extremely enjoyable. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 6/10

Boozing, violence, and cursing in so-so Southern thriller.

Rated: 2/5

The Spool

Though he perks up towards the end, Cage looks exhausted most of the time, and you can almost hear the weary sigh as he signed the contract agreeing to star in this.

Nothing happens in this movie, for me it didn't even create tension, it felt poorly written, there's no much of a story, plot, character development or even character building, it is just poorly made, its not even a creative concept, it's just bad.

First of all, this is supposed to be set in Grand Isle Louisiana , in that case their accents are totally wrong . Everybody wears white rubber boots down there , where are they ? Oh my gosh was this unrealistic.

Unfortunately 1:34 hours lost trying to find where Nicholas Cage and Kelsey Grammer could have left their qualities of great actors in this boring Grand Isle production. Impossible to do that. The whole movie is a nonsense puzzle. What a pity!

I found this movie on DVD, and decided to give it a watch. The story was ok, and the acting similarly on par. It has a few surprises, and was scary enough to keep my interest, without giving me nightmares, so it was pitched about right for my taste in this genre. The main problem I found with the film was that most of the scenes take place indoors at night during the hurricane, which inevitably leads to poor lighting and difficulties seeing what is taking place on screen. I am not a fan of this approach to movie making, and I think many directors adopt it to save on the budget, under the guise of creating an atmosphere! That said, the film was no worse than many others in that regard, so I would rate it about average overall. It's worth a look if you stumble across it.

While the story is not bad, the slow pace brings it down.
