4.0 out of 5 stars CAGE is good, December 9, 2008

This review is from: Cage (DVD)

This is a really cool movie. Lots of action, a good story, and yes, even decent acting. I rented it because I have been watching "The Incredible Hulk". Lou Ferrigno and Reb Brown play two Vietnam vets. Lou saved Reb's life, and got shot in the head. The injury left him a simpleton, and Brown becomes his big brother/caretaker. Then some cage fight promoters get their hands on Lou, and Reb has to save him from the cage fights. It's really good, I'm telling you. Ignore the bad reviews on imdb. If you like action, cage is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Triumph!, November 19, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Cage [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This was one of the best films of 1989. It's a powerful story of everlasting and unconditional friendship. Lou Ferrigno gives an awe-inspiring performance as Billy Thomas, a Vietnam veteran with a mental disability. Reb Brown plays Scott Monroe, also a Vietnam vet and Billy's best friend. Billy gets abducted and tricked into cage-fighting, and Scott must find and rescue him from the clutches of the Chinese mafia. This treasure is a must see for action movie fans!

3.0 out of 5 stars sends mixed feelings, January 13, 2007

This review is from: Cage [VHS] (VHS Tape)

If you're into illegal fights setup in cage matches, this might be wroth checking out. But don't get your hopes up, Cage is not a horrible movie but is inconsistent in delivering what even a good B-movie should receive.

While the movie stars the large "Lou Ferrigno" (star of the Incredible Hulk series), the character he plays, Billy, is original, but a big let down for such an actor. He doesn't even get as much screen time as his best buddy in the movie, Scott, played by Reb Brown . The movie opens up with scenes of the Vietnam War. Billy is shot in the head, gives him brain damage, leaving him handicapped with the mind of a child for the rest of his life. His handicap gets him mixed up into illegal cage fighting, where he only has 2 fights and both are a let down, with Billy shouting "But I don't wanna hurt no one". I give props for the originality, but it is not very entertaining to watch.

The acting suffers in this film, and the goons are sillier than most B-movie goons. The bad guys are ok, and Matthias Hues (Kickboxer 2, Mission of Justice) gets screen time as one of the fighters who gets a chance at Billy. The music is just about as cheesy as the overall story and plot, and the beginning credits song/scene is enough to make one want to barf - cheesiest dang thing ever.

In a weird rounabout way the Cage is still an alright film, mainly for its attempts at originality and a plot that goes a bit more in depth than the usual B movie of its type. The fights are ok, but really just don't look real at all, and there are no fancy martial arts movies at all in this one. Check it out if you want, but getting hopes up for Cage will dissapoint you.
