Goofs

When Micheal chases the Bus and then eventually gets on the bus and moves to the back searching for his son, we see that the are many empty seats at the back where he has seen his bus. However the bus is obviously very crowded from front till back. It does not makes sense for the general public to not occupy the empty seats. See more »

Whatever happened to Nic Cage...
22 September 2015 | by (Malta) – See all my reviews

Back in the 90's, Nicolas Cage was one of my favorite actors. The Rock, Con Air, Face/Off, Leaving Las Vegas. Now, I just can't understand what he's doing. This has got to be one of his worst movies I have ever seen. I gave it 4 stars as the acting is OK. I enjoyed The Wicker Man much more than this! I don't know which was worse, this or The Runner. The last Nic Cage movie I enjoyed was Dying Of The Light which was quite good.

I wish Nic Cage steps back up to what he does best because the truth is he's not a bad actor.

Not worth the watch.
