Today is the tenth anniversary of the Alex Proyas mystery thriller #Knowing starring Nicolas Cage a movie that for whatever reason I really enjoy. Is it the wackiness of the lead star? Maybe. It honestly might be the downer ending of the film because it totally surprised me. pic.twitter.com/saftBVJ70A

I have kept this a secret for 9 years, but it’s time I tell the world. I’ve been scared because I just don’t know how my friends and family will react.
I liked the movie ‘Knowing’ starring Nicolas Cage. I mean yeah it went off the rails but that’s what makes it great. #Knowing— Andrew Lynch (@URAMean1MrLynch) May 2, 2018
“Just watched #knowing and it was truly a cinematic masterpiece. The direction, cinematography, and performances were exceptional. The storyline was gripping and kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the movie. Highly recommend this one! #hollywoodmovies #mustwatch

We are always happy for an excuse to get an extra dose of the Cagester. Who needs coffee when Nick is out there keeping us on our toes and making us feel alive?
It also seems like a perfectly good apocalypse film to distract us from everything else. If this movie slipped under your radar, check out the trailer below.
