Good concept, poorly executed.
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
The acting in this movie is really good.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Excellent movie. Recommended. Kept my attention throughout. Not a fast moving flick but made up for it with a little more character development. Almost didn't watch due to some negative reviews. I should have known better. Unfortunately there is a large portion of today's movie audience always expecting lots of CGI which for me are movies akin to soulless software programs. Nicholas Cage does an excellent job displaying his internal struggle to fight temptation vs. doing the right thing.
Another helping of Nic being and doing Nic. I'm struggling to remember anything this century that Mr cage has done that warrants any merit. One must assume Mr Cage needs the money and will take any part, ultimately a self-defeating circle of decline. The film is had some good ideas its just a shame the dialogue made me want to defecate Nic seriously man give up now whilst people still fondly remember you as a once Hollywood A Lister
Like most cage movies, it was poor. weird storyline and boring, dont waste your time nothing much happens.
I will always remember the film 'Vacancy' because I went into it with zero expectations and ended up having one of the best film experiences I can remember. Really the only similarity that 'Looking Glass' has to that film is that it was set in a motel in the middle of nowhere. Still though, a part of me had hopes of another hidden gem. It wasn't to be though. The film starts off with some potentially exciting plot points and mysterious goings on, but can never live up to them and provide any pay off.There's also a serious lack of suspense in the film. At no point are you ever on the edge of your set needing to know what is going to happen next. The film just kind of drifts along and even when something that's supposed to be exciting is happening, it really isn't that captivating. The one bright point for me was Nicolas Cage. Even though his career has been in serious decline for over a decade now, he can still act the pants off most people in the industry when he tries. Sadly though, he's far from enough to save this forgettable film that I wouldn't recommend spending your hard-earned on.
