Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance

Actors:  Nicholas Cage, Ciarin Hinds, Christopher Lambert, Idris Elba, Violante Placido, Johnny Whitworth
Rating:  6 out of 10, I guess there were a lot of untold stores that needed to be told after the first movie and there can never be enough crazed Nicholas Cage moments on the silver screen but this was kind of a mess.  Whoever shot this film seems to have forgotten camerawork 101 where you keep the light spots off the screen.  There were so many of the damned, distracting spots on the screen that it became a game to count them all.  Stringer Bell achieves a semi-successful French accent as a motorcycling, gun toting Catholic Priest (yep) and Conner Macleod shows up with a face full of tattoos.  There is actually a good movie hidden (very deeply) but the directors choose to spend too much time admiring Cage’s burning head instead of focusing on what was a pretty good story.
MVP:  Placido as the mom desperately trying to save her satanic born son
