Jiu Jitsu (2020) Review

There is a common misconception that Nic Cage is a bad actor. Does he over act at times? Yes! But when provided with a good script he takes you on a wonderful ride with his performances. This movie is not one of those scripts. Cage showed up 42 minutes into the film and stayed for roughly 40 minutes of almost two hours of drivel. That 40 minutes was the best part but nothing close to being able to save this mess. The energy comes and leaves as soon his character leaves the screen. The main actor was so stale that I wish he stayed mute like he mostly was when the film started. The action scenes were almost just as much nonsense as the story line. This is far from the bad but good Cage films we’ve come to willfully endure over the years. Get this man a real script and a real team of actors. But in the meantime, skip Jiu Jitsu unless you plan to choke yourself out for watching it afterwards.

Rating: Dogshit
