OUT NOW CINEMAS
We all know by now that a Nicolas Cage film has the capacity to be a rollercoaster of ups and downs. Benjamin Brewer's is no exception. It throws us into a world in a state of noisy upheaval, as Cage's Paul scavenges what he can to survive and runs home to his infant sons. The opening stretch is blissfully context-free; how and why the end of the world happened isn't important – only the aftermath is.
