The official trailer for psychological thriller Sympathy for the Devil is here, showcasing Nicolas Cage doing what he does best: hamming it up and having the time of his life.

Cage plays a mysterious hijacker who forces an expectant father (Joel Kinnaman) to drive him around at gunpoint. There will be blood, death, and probably a dire need for therapy for all surviving parties. Though in classic Cage fashion, he's still making sure to add some theatrical flair to the whole ordeal.

Sympathy for the Devil arrives in theatres and on demand July 28.
