lol what a total mess ! like I know Nicolas Cage can go big or small but come on who casts him in a drama and then expects him to play it cool ? and FKA twigs has a whole 5 minutes of screen time like what was the point of casting her lol noah jupe is getting robbed with that role, he's always so underrated lotfy nathan needs to go back to school on storytelling, this edit is straight trash
I don't get why Nicolas Cage was cast as the carpenter . He's known for his intense performances, but in 'The Carpenter's Son', he just feels out of place . The film needs someone with more subtlety to bring nuance to the character. I think FKA twigs' role was a waste too . She has so much talent, but here she's stuck in an unengaging part . The pacing is all over the place, it's like Nathan's trying to cram too many themes and plot points into one movie . Unfortunately, it doesn't pay off and feels like a lazy effort at the end of the day .
i mean, i was expecting so much from nicolas cage in 'the carpenter's son'... the premise actually sounded kinda cool , but unfortunately it just didn't come together. the pacing is all over the place and cage's performance is super inconsistent - one minute he's intense and next he's being his usual over-the-top self lol. and what's up with the supporting cast? they're all like "meh" . anyway, if you're a die-hard fan of cage or biblical dramas, i guess it might be worth a watch... but for everyone else, just skip it .
