 Plot Synopsis by Justin: Edward Malus (Nicolas Cage), a California Highway Patrolman, witnesses an accident in which a woman and her young daughter are burned alive while he is helpless to rescue them. Shortly afterwards, he receives a letter from his former fiancée Willow (Not played by Fiona Apple, but I had to check the IMDB to be sure), asking him to investigate the disappearance of her young daughter Rowan. At the urging of a female cop, Edward goes to the private island of Summersisle, located in Puget Sound, (important because this means Edward has zero jurisdiction) to check things out and generally just be a jerk. Nobody seems to know anything about Rowan and Edward starts to suspect that something’s up. For one thing, the women look like they’re in charge and the men are mute and beaten-down troglodytes. For another thing, all the comforting trappings of Christianity are either in ruins or underwater. And lastly, these people seem to like nature in general and bees specifically. Edward finally deduces that Rowan is to be the sacrifice in a pagan ritual. He’s not having that, and spends a sublime half-hour lurching around Summersisle like a belligerent pedophile drunk on power and Everclear. As it turns out, the whole thing was a set up for Edward to be the sacrifice, and he’s burned alive by the girl he was trying to save. Oh yeah, and it turns out the female cop, the mother and daughter from the beginning and even Willow were in on it the whole time.Watch the best scenes at You Tube. |
