Nicholas Cage may well be one of the most prolific actors around, even if these days stand-out roles seem to pass him by, and he’s not really the star he once was. That being said he always seems to lend a likable and infinitely watchable persona to every role he takes on, so sitting down to this was an easy choice. He plays a heroic crusader turned deserter who along with his friend, fellow crusader Ron Perlman (Hellboy, Blade 2), they stumble upon the transportation of a suspected witch in a local village where a dying cardinal (an unrecognisable Christopher Lee) wishes her to be taken to a group of Monks so she will be given a trial. A plague has also gripped the land, and those in charge believe the witch is responsible. Cage & Perlman on the other hand would rather give her the benefit of the doubt.
