The Surfer-bedømmelser og anmeldelser
- Enes Şahin23. februar 2026Nicolas Abi deserves a good script and a big-scale film. He's a great actor, but there aren't enough producers giving him the credit he deserves. The films he's in are such cheap productions, like this one, for example. They made a ridiculous film. I wouldn't normally watch such productions, but I watched it just for him, but I won't watch any more. I won't watch any more films with him in them. I gave it a 2 out of 10.
- Nyxus_11. februar 2026That was goddamn exhausting.
- RipLinesMan20. april 2025The Surfer and Event Horizon (1997) both trap their protagonists in hostile spaces that seem to breathe with personal malice — one scorched by sun and silence, the other adrift in cold, cosmic ruin. Nicolas Cage’s character is pushed to the edge not by physical violence, but by a creeping erosion of control, dignity, and belonging. Like Captain Miller aboard the Event Horizon, he’s not just challenged — he’s dismantled. The beach is a mirror just as the ship was: reflecting back guilt, shame, and the failure to protect. Where Event Horizon weaponizes memory into madness, The Surfer uses heat, isolation, and local cruelty to boil its protagonist down to raw instinct. Both men face a reckoning not with an enemy, but with themselves — surrounded by people who either won’t help or can’t. One ends with fire, the other with water. But in both, peace is earned only after the soul has been scorched clean.
- lyftca29. januar 2026This movie was suprising really really good one of Nick Cages best!!
- Michael Harrison10. maj 2025I'd fear if you were high when watching this it'd be a total head fuck and you'd just want to die.
- Stephan DuVal30. december 2025It was a deeper commentary on life and culture than I could understand but it's not like watching something that had a great value to somebody with the perception and the imagination to follow it. I like Nick Cage. This is a fantastic performance and it is a ride. Maybe don't watch it while you're sweeping the floor. Maybe then you'll pick up on the nuances that I've missed
- Eithan Hopkins30. december 2025What the............... God knows how I made it to the end of this movie, I think it was more just wanting to see where they would take it. Also, why did the son just suddenly disappear for the whole film?
- Gen Lock22. juni 2025What a boring nonsense, wasted time I am afraid.
- Mr. D30. december 2025A story of regret, loss, redemption that Cage brings another fantastic performance to.
- Hunter9. juni 2025A 3-star movie all day long, but a 5-star movie in my heart. The Surfer might not hit every mark technically or narratively, but it’s beautifully done and resonates on a deeper, more personal level. Its atmosphere, tone, and emotion carry it beyond its imperfections. Not perfect, but perfectly impactful.
- wdams17. december 2025Blarg!!!
- Jeff Myers3. november 2025Every time I think Nicholas Cage wouldn’t make a worse movie, he manages to prove me wrong.
- Kit Lazer30. april 2025The Wizard of Oz directed by Oliver Stone
- jimi48310. august 2025Magnificent!!!
- Zokkiie17. oktober 2025Weird, tense, and beautifully shot — Cage goes all in, as usual. It’s got style and mood to spare, but the story drifts and never fully clicks.
