'The Surfer' Review: Nicolas Cage Aussie Horror Thriller Tackles Toxic Masculinity
The Surfer gets gnarly in a hurry with shocking visuals, mind-bending twists, and a riveting lead performance from Nicolas Cage as a desperate father clinging to his dreams and sanity while running afoul of a**hole "bros" on a scorching Australian beach. Characters blur together in a waking nightmare fueled by tribalism and toxic masculinity. What begins as a seemingly straightforward premise goes off the deep end when reality itself is called into question. Your skin will crawl until a head-scratching climax that ticks nearly every item on the bonkers checklist, but feels rushed and manufactured after a long build-up.
