“The Carpenter’s Son” (* out of four) was a turgid action melodrama set in prehistoric Roman Egypt in which a destined figure known as The Son (Noah Jupe) is being protected by The Carpenter (Nicholas Cage) but doubts his powers as they begin to be engulfed by a supernatural entity and being. Laughably solemn and overblown with a miscast (to put it mildy) Cage really tough to take in the lead role. Unintentionally funny at times but for the most part a real bore.
