The movie "Rage" is proof that a Nicolas Cage flick can shift from amusing to WTF in a heartbeat.

It's the old Netflix ploy...you think of a few movies you'd like to watch, they don't offer 'em, so you start browsing for something you'd be willing to watch. Tonight was one of those nights, and even though I would not call myself a Nicolas Cage "fan," the movie "Rage" looked like it might be fun.

And it was.

Until the plot twist, and the ending. I won't give spoilers here, but I was hoping for more of a Steven Segal "as predictable as it gets" experience...some punches, some explosions, some gunplay...and all of these things are in the movie, but there is the ridiculous plot twist, followed by the ridiculous ending.

For the record, it got one star on the Rotten Tomatoes Website.
