You won’t “Know” what to expect
Nicolas’ Cage new movie, Knowing, is surprisingly good. The movie focuses on Cage’s character finding the truths to disasters through numbers. While the premise of the movie isn’t unique by any stretch of the means, it does weave a fairly good, unpretentious storyline. If you have seen Alex Proyas’ other directed movies, such as Dark City, you will know the tone of the movie. The movie is not inundated with non-hysterical one-liners, nor does it try to stand on star power alone. The story slowly unravels little by little in the movie which leads to a very surprising ending. The ending, I will warn, if not watched carefully, can be confusing. There is much dialog that needs the proper attention paid to it. To go with a well crafted storyline, prepare your mind to analyze many aspects of the movie, particularly the ending. This isn’t just an ordinary Scifi/Thriller/Action-Adventure. It’s philisophical, haunting, thought-provoking. I never thought I’d say that for a Nicolas Cage movie. On a scale of 1-10, I give it an 8.
