He awakens to find himself in a vehicle driving him out to the desert, but he is helpless to do anything about it. His assailant then walks him into the desert, and is about to kill Nate, but the assailant is shot by a band of Indians, and Nate is left unharmed. Nate then finds a circus in the desert, and is drawn to the exotic beauty of Lily (Megan Fox), a sideshow performer who has wings on her back. Lily is cold and dismissive, but it dawns on her that this gentle giant may well be her ticket to a better life. The sideshow owner (Rhys Ifans) attempts to kill Nate, but Lily rescues him by stealing a truck, and together they fle” read more
"Just terrible. You would actually expect a film featuring Mickey Rourke, Bill Murray, Rhys Ifans and yes, Megan Fox (she is at least good looking) to be better than this garbage.

Mickey Rourke could still pull off starring roles at his age and looks, still carving his legend while looking like Mike Myers’ mask.

Rourke simply follows his own rules. But this tall tale about a beautiful freak of nature with bird wings played by the enchanting Megan Fox, lacks timing and a "
