That Film Stew Ep 576 – The Surfer (Review)

Directed by Lorcan Finnegan, The Surfer is the psychological thriller starring Nicolas Cage. Out now on Stan. A man returns to the idyllic beach of his childhood to surf with his son. But his desire to hit the waves is thwarted by a group of locals whose mantra is “don’t live here, don’t surf here.” Humiliated and angry, the man is drawn into a conflict that keeps rising in concert with the punishing heat of the summer and pushes him to his breaking point. We break down all things from being filmed in Western Australia, the potential threat to Australian tourism, and Cage's crazy performance.
