Often when watching a Nicolas Cage performance, you’re left wondering exactly how the star manages to get in the zone for his most out-there scenes. Because nobody goes out-there quite like Cage – always with a sense of authenticity, never arbitrarily. And his latest thriller, The Surfer, is another dose of pure, uncut Cage – a heady, hardcore psychological thriller, in which a proposed day at the beach turns into a nightmare when Cage’s unnamed surfer is set upon by fellow nefarious wave-riders. It takes the actor to typically tubular territory as his psyche unravels – and one unexpected song helped him get there.
