Prisoners of the Ghostland

"It's certainly never dull. How could it be really?"

"A triumph for bizarro cinema."

"A maniacal whirlwind of cinematic insanity..."

"A particularly surreal tribute to the Western, the Samurai film, and the Mad Max post-apocalypse."

"Really there's only one word to describe it: nuts."

"The film is a profound disappointment in part because it feels so overdetermined to live up to Sion Sono and Nicholas Cage's respective brands."

"A cheeky picture whose melodramatic grandeur is undercut by the story's knowing preposterousness."

"If you like Westerns, martial arts, Japanese cinema, Nicolas Cage, or anything weird AF, then this is certainly for you."

"It is an excellent introduction to the director for anyone who hasn't dipped into his filmography. And Cage? It's another solid, snarling turn from the hardest working action man in Hollywood."

"Sion Sono's arguably got something to say here - he usually does - but his themes are typically far more successful when paired with more entertaining and/or thoughtful fare."

"If you give yourself over to this thing, it's a neon-lit ride worth taking."
