The plot is that Cade is a fabulously wealthy guy with supernatural powers who has funded the renovation of a mental hospital

But when some of the patients get into a car crash and end up at his house (which is a castle), he discovers they’ve been embezzling his money and that the hospital is a nightmarish shithole where they harvest transients to perform horrible medical experiments with gene editing drugs

He tries to fix it but everyone is helpless to fix the situation, so instead he goes into the hospital and starts training the patients to become powerful spiritual warriors

Then they fight their way out

That sounds like a reasonably exciting movie, right?

The first thing you need to understand about it is that

The entire movie is people greenscreened onto stock photos

They had zero sets.

They intercut some stock film in there where they could

The acting is....I’m trying to think of a nicer word then “bad”, but it’s very bad

But there’s a difference between entertainingly bad and just bad

Cade: The Tortured Crossing STARTS with some entertainingly goofy nonsense and ENDS on the same mote

He wrestles a cg tiger that them turns into a beautiful woman

One of the hospital patients grows wings for no reason and declares herself a Wing Warrior

He is forced to kill his brother who is in agony from over abuse of gene editing drugs

He fights a bunch of kidnappers

It’s almost campy if you squint at it

But there’s like an hour long segment in the middle

That’s just randomly arranged scenes of hospital patients screaming and crying and getting tortured

There’s like four separate instances of a guy sleeping on the ground but then a man in black grabs him to drag him off to the hospital

I think the same actor gets grabbed every time?

After about twenty minutes it starts getting mind numbingly dull

Anyway after the movie I did a bit of poking around and discovered that this is a sequel

And that Cade doesn’t have magic powers for no reason

And that his brother Cale didn’t appear out of nowhere

Anyway final review: 2/5 stars. It’s not actively offensive but it’s dull. Don’t watch it

Cade: The Tortured Crossing Trailer (A Neil Breen Fi...

This was the first time I had seen a Neil Breen movie

I think I still preferred it to Megalopolis

I was soothed

oh times ten

Megalopolis was an assault on the mind

it hated the audience in a way breen never does

Breen never gave a single thought to the audience

Breen's movies are for Breen

He just wanted to make his movie

Neil Breen Fights a Tiger - Cade: The Tortured Cross...it did have this in it though so it’s impossible to say if it was good or bad
