Wow I don’t really know where to start with this one people because Knowing is not the film it seems to be. But I know I have to start somewhere so let’s start with the fact that the characters in this film are excellently played by the cast. As far as Nicholas Cage is concerned his performance as always is proof positive that he is a consummate actor and the big star.
For those of us who are Nick Cage fans we will definitely enjoy this movie because there is plenty of him to go around. The supporting cast is very good as well especially the two child stars Chandler Canterbury and Lara Robinson. Nadia Townsend and Rose Byrne were excellent supporting actresses as well.
If you are thinking that this film is going to be an action film like Bangkok Dangerous, Con Air, or Gone In Sixty Seconds you will wind up disappointed. However do not be too disappointed because there are a couple of action sequences in this movie and they are very good.
Knowing falls more into the thriller and mystery genres and in this aspect it is a great flick. The plot for this movie involves what appears to be a series of random tragic events that Nick’s character finds out are not so random when his son’s school opens a time capsule.
His son receives a letter from the time capsule and finds all of the past tragic events prophesied in the letter except for the last three events that have yet to occur. What follows is a race against time and an extra terrestrial encounter that sheds a whole different light on the subject after the Cage character thought he figured it out.
This movie does have some violence and adult language but I found it to be suitable for families. As a Nick Cage film it is also worth seeing and as it is now on DVD it is certainly affordable. If you find yourself with a little free time in the evening, or on the weekend, that is a perfect time for this movie.
That’s all we have for you on Simple Man Entertainment today, but we will be back again very soon with more entertainment to review and enjoy. I hope you all have a terrific day my friends CIAO4NOW!!!!!

I saw this movie and it definitely was not what I expected. It wasn't that it was a bad movie, but it did leave you feeling dissatisfied at the end of the movie. Great review.
