A man returns to the idyllic beach of his childhood to surf with his son. When he is humiliated by a group of locals, the man is drawn into a conflict that keeps rising and pushes him to his breaking point.

It’s a rare moment where what one knows of Cage’s methods as an actor crystallizes into a form that feels wholly unknown—discovering new ground in well-tread territory.

It really is a midnight movie — the kind of trippy slapdash comic nightmare where the only way to watch it is to sit back and “go with it.” Cage makes that easy to do.
