“Between Worlds” (*1/2 out of four) was a laughably weird melodrama which seemed like it was created by someone between mental breakdowns; Nicholas Cage plays a down-on-his luck trick driver who meets a spiritually gifted woman (Franka Potente) who enlists Joe’s help to find the lost soul of her comatose daughter (Penelope Mitchell). Unfortunately for all of them, the spirit of Cage’s dead wife proves too strong and possesses the young girl and determined to complete her unfinished business. Cage is good in one of his more ununsual roles but he’s defeated by all the pretentious and artificial hooey. And speaking of artificial- check out the fire that engulfs him at the end of this mess, if you make it that far.
