Ghost Rider is hell on wheels

Director: Mark Steven Johnson

Cast: Matt Long, Peter Fonda, Nicolas Cage, Raquel Alessi, Wes Bentley

There is no end to the comic-book characters Hollywood keeps finding for screen exposure … so burn rubber and zoom forward Johnny Blaze (Cage, doing what he does best), stuntman turned fighter-against-evil.

He's taking on Blackheart (Bentley), the son of Satan himself in the sort of film that goes for sheer page-turning entertainment.

There is hardly any call for acting-as-we-know-it, but it all works on the level of a decent evening out. Good contributions from Fonda and Sam Elliott, so it's another comic-book hero chalked off the list.

Star Rating: 4/5
