CAGE is a crazy hybrid of many genres--part war movie, part martial arts film, part gang movie, part action-adventure entertainment, and even part domestic drama, and it fails on nearly all these levels. Scott (Reb Brown) owns a bar, and Billy (Lou Ferrigno), his Vietnam buddy who is mentally impaired from a head injury during the war, lives with him. Life is going pretty well until two sleazy mobsters happen to see the buddies defending their bar against some hoodlums. Impressed by the friends' fighting abilities, the mobsters try to recruit them to battle in a secret tournament in which two hulking maniacs are locked in a huge cage so they can beat each other to a pulp. If you can get past some of the ridiculous ethnic stereotypes in CAGE you may have fun watching it, because it's one of those movies that's so bad it's good--full of ridiculous dialog, outlandish situations, and laughably wretched acting. Though CAGE's many moments of unintentional humor make it very entertaining at times, serious fans of the action genre will be bored and possibly even offended by this lame entry. leave a comment
