Worst film you've ever seen.

ah, your describing the Nick/Nicholas Cage paradox.  When he has a ponytail and there is rubbish nickleback style rock music, that's Nick Cage.  When he is actually acting (I.e not just paying the bills) like Bad Lieutenant, that's Nicholas Cage.

Don't really like any of his films. I'm a fan of the Coen Brothers, but don't really like Raising Arizona, Wild At Heart is pretty good, but other than that, not for me.

He's been involved in remakes of 2 of my favourite films, Wicker Man and Bad Lieutenent, so I can't trust his judgement, especially as Knowing was so poor.

The Mercenary (aka The Lazarus Papers)

OK, this is it, trust me, this really, really, really is 'the one' - The Worst Film, Ever 

Note the box-cover: the title, The Mercenary; Danny Trejo yielding a gun; images of big explosions and swooping choppers.

So, any mercenaries in the film? Nope.

Does Danny Trejo ever actually hold a gun? Not for a millisecond.

Any footage of helicopter gunships and subwoofer-rumbling fireballs? Erm, not in this film.

But it is set in SE Asia, with a plotline involving a mail-order bride scam exploiting HIV-infected prostitutes, some cod surrealist/supernatural/afterlife twaddle, a "cor blimey, guvnor" mockney, and plenty of local 'actors' with a permanent look of "do I say my line now?" bewilderment.

Production values are high, compared to YouTube footage shot on a webcam. Class moment: the female lead enters her grim bathroom to dye her hair for a disguise, and emerges wearing a bright pink wig in a style totally different from her own

And it's so dull, depressing, badly written, directed, acted etc that it's not even 'so bad it's good'
