Wes Bentley’s (Ghost Rider) wife, Emmanuelle Vaugier (Painkiller Jane), witnesses a murder as part of Christian Slater’s (Slipstream, Alone In The Dark) people trafficking operation. She is killed and Wes sets about arranging a very elaborate revenge.
This is yet another Stephen King story and focuses more on suspense and then terror rather than horror. Bentley pulls off his plan with 30 minutes of the movie to go, and the remainder of the film is spent in conversation between Bentley and Slater. The build up is interesting, the banter between the two stars is entertaining, and Slater has great time being bad. Dolan’s Cadillac, although not exceptional, is much better than many more convoluted and high profile revenge thrillers. It’s also nice having a story of vengeance that is about clever planning, not just violence (eg Stiletto).
