Review

I avoided this movie until now. It was released during the time Cage was making nothing bombs. After watching it, I'm sad that the case. This movie is batshit crazy in all the right ways. It's not perfect, it has some terrible CGI designed for 3d effects and the Cage's acting is not great. It doesn't have to be though. This is a grindhouse movie through and through. It revels in the sleaze. Also the soundtrack is just as batshit awesome as the rest of the film.

Cage's Milton is just so deadpan. His accent is a toned down version of Cameron Poe from Con Air. His character just doesn't give a fuck. He shoots, kills, and fucks without abandon. He literally does all three at the same time. There's a literal gunfight that happens while he's fucking a waitress. 

William Fichtner is perfect as the Accountant. He's an arrogant prick of a demon that serves as Satan's assistant. He's an antagonist, but not one without reason. Honestly, I like the character so much, I might add a version of him to most of my supernatural games. Fichtner is perfect in the role. He always plays slimy and arrogant perfectly.

Billy Burke does a great job as the apocalyptic cult leader, Jonah King. I'm a fan of Burke and it's cool to see him play a important role in a story. David Morse and Tom Atkins play great supporting characters as always. I don't like Amber Heard as a person, but she's great eye candy and plays a good supporting character. 

In Your Game

If you want to play a character like Milton in a Vigilante City game, the Revenant Hero from Superhero Team-Up is the way to go. 

The Godkiller

This powerful gun owned by Satan. It has the range of a shotgun and does 6d6+6 damage. This damage can't be healed via magic and overcomes all toughness. Anyone killed by it is truly gone, their soul obliterated. They cannot pass to the afterlife, nor be brought back by any means. The ammunition is extremely rare and know more than five shells for the gun can be in existence at a time.
