BLURBS:
"If I tell you that Nicolas Cage's eyeballs will turn into ultraviolet high-beams, then you'll know immediately if you're in or out." - Jeanette Catsoulis, The New York Times
"It's disorderly fun that sports a directorial personality distinct enough to make one grateful for Stanley's return." - Dennis Harvey, Variety
"Love it or loathe it, Stanley is trying to do something distinctively his own after all those years in the cold. His movie perhaps has the makings of a cult classic." - Cath Clarke, The Guardian
