Why watch the movie Sympathy for the Devil?
"Sympathy for the Devil is a thriller starring Nicolas Cage, hitting theaters at an interesting point in his career, as he continues to take on more popular and bold films like Longlegs. It's hard to tell if this movie, directed by Yuval Adler (The Operative), falls into Cage's new wave of daring choices or if it's just another one of the throwaway films that have been a part of his career for many years. Either way, Sympathy for the Devil is a bit toned down compared to Cage's recent works, telling the story of a man (Joel Kinnaman) who is kidnapped outside a hospital, where his wife is in labor, by a mysterious and eccentric man (Cage). From there, over 90 minutes, we watch the tense back-and-forth between the two, mostly inside a car, with the kidnapped man trying to make sense of the situation while the kidnapper seems to enjoy the game. Despite its flaws and weak plot, the film knows how to have fun with its characters and the situation, with some memorable moments—like Cage dancing in a diner. A movie to watch and enjoy."
