In The Surfer,\u201d Cage is the title character, and he isn\u2019t even given a proper name. He\u2019s just a father trying to rebuild a connection with his teenage son (<strong>Finn Little<\/strong>) through a shared love of surfing by revisiting the area he grew up in.<\/p>\n<p>When the Surfer is denied by a gang of local surfers, it completely disrupts his plans to restore his place in his family. Cage has a gift for making even his over-the-top characters relatable, and there\u2019s something very sympathetic about the way he plays the Surfer\u2019s plight. He goes through some very extreme misfortune by asserting his rights and standing up to the surfer hooligans,\u00a0 and the Surfer pays a high price for refusing to back down.<\/p>\n<h2>It Features Julian McMahon in His Final Role<\/h2>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Surfer - Official Clip - Julian McMahon\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/R748h7fGw9k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Nip\/Tuck star <strong>Julian McMahon<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-news\/news\/julian-mcmahon-nip-tuck-star-dead-at-56-after-cancer-battle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">passed away at the beginning of July<\/a>, making The Surfer his final film role.

The two movies cover some very similar themes as the main characters lose the things that define their identities. For Cage, that gives him the green light to make the Surfer increasingly off-kilter and borderline deranged.<\/p>\n<p>To be honest, that\u2019s exactly what I expected from The Surfer. Giving Cage\u2019s on-screen character a mental breakdown raises the question of how much of the film is set in reality, and how much is taking place in the Surfer\u2019s mind.
