SEASON OF THE WITCH (Theatrical Release USA 2011)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.4|5.0 Starsìììì

Season of the Witch becomes a great watch because of the very well casted team of Nicolas Cage and Ron Perlman. These two actors have been given great dialogue lines to show a very realistic best friends’ onscreen camaraderie that is likable, relatable, and very pleasing. Cage and Perlman work off each other to perfection throughout the film and the supporting cast completely compliments that effort. One might not think that Perlman and Cage would be a great team; but, it so works! Great work for Director Dominic Sena as he pulls the most from this story and creates a good piece of entertainment.
