12 Kick-Ass Upcoming Movies Nobody Is Talking About

11. Jiu Jitsu

Every time a Nicolas Cage movie is announced, the devil rolls the dice and we get either something that reminds us that yes, he genuinely is still a huge acting talent or something that makes you want to gouge out your eyes. There is very little middle ground and the unfortunate reality is that the bad stuff significantly outweighs the good.

That does mean that Cage tends to find himself attached to projects you'd place at the stranger end of the scale, though.

Take Jiu Jiitsu for instance, which you'd think would rank as just another of his bargain basement straight-to-DVD offerings on first look. But then dig a little deeper and it's a story of a group of martial arts experts who come together once every six years to fight off an alien invasion and it becomes a whole lot more badass.

Were it not for Cage top-lining a cast that also includes Tony Jaa, Frank Grillo and a host of stunts and combat movie veterans, this comic book adaptation would be WAY more hyped.
