Nicolas Cage's 'The Surfer' Divides Critics and Audiences With Opposing Rotten Tomatoes Scores
Nicolas Cage's The Surfer is riding a wave of divisiveness. Critics and audiences have split opinions on Rotten Tomatoes about the new thriller.

Basic concepts such as comebacks and downfalls don't seem to apply to Nicolas Cage. In the last few years alone, Cage has delivered numerous films that would qualify as critically acclaimed hits; he was even in the running for an Academy Award nomination not so long ago. But he always seems to follow his more memorable movies with straight-to-video potboilers. Cage is currently starring in The Surfer, a psychological thriller that opened to critical acclaim on Friday, but drew frumpy reactions from audiences.
