Jiu Jitsu

"Nicolas Cage has worn a lot of things on his head over the years, but the Burmese fisherman's bonnet... is something new. It's one of the few things in the movie that is."

"Come for the wacky premise, stay for the action, and then leave wondering why there wasn't any jiu-jitsu."

"Nicolas Cage's few minutes of screen time are nowhere close to saving this confused, flimsy martial arts outing."

"Cage's amusing turn as a kooky hermit with an affinity for newspaper hats often feels awkwardly spliced into the film."

"Has all the barely-motivated action and sci-fi trappings of a middling videogame and, well, at least a little of the dramatic value."

"Feels like a deeply 2020 movie in that it is a barrage of WTF choices that hit without mercy until you either give in and go with the flow or just go mad."

"Should have gone full-Sharknado and admitted that they're banking hard on Cage's anything-goes image."

"Cage finally appears about 40 minutes into the film as an eccentric expert swordsman who makes paper hats in his spare time."

"The action sequences are weirdly extended and bland, like game-play action from a first-person game."
