Next

When I am not buying DVD's I watch a little of Comcast On-Demand. Sometimes. So today I watched Nicolas Cage's movie "NEXT"

The premise is that Cage can see two weeks into his own future. The FBI enlist his help to find some nukes smuggled into the U.S. by Russians. Since he cannot see into any other future than his own the writers needed to find some way >yawn<. Excuse me. Some way to get him personally involved. Enter the love story. The love interest is played by Jessica Biel.

In less than three days Biel's character falls madly in love with Cage in a way more appropriate to a relationship that has stood the test of time. Since Cage's abilities are known to the Russians, they attempt to get Cage but kidnap his girl instead >yawn<. Excuse me. Now Cage is involved and goes with the FBI to get his girl and stop the evil Ruskies. I understand his powers help him know where the next punch is coming from. But they never explain how he becomes a master of hand to hand combat as he takes out six armed military guards.

Since he can see into his own personal future, he goes with a FBI team to save his woman. During a massive shoot out he stands dead center chest out never dodging bullets. Since he knows who is going to shoot from where and when.

But wait. After saving the girl Cage realizes he made >yawn<>yawn<. Excuse me. He made a mistake. There is an interesting twist at the end and some good action sequences. But the >yawn<>yawn< in between make it a weak mooooZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Zzzzzzzzzzz double cheese Zzzzzzzz burger Zzzzzzzzzz Jessica Alba ZzzzzzzzzzZzzzzzzzzzz Zzzzzzzz
