Watched this last night. Dare I say that the Nicolas Cage that I used to know and love is back? This is the first Nic Cage performance I think I've enjoyed in quite a while. Somewhat reminiscent of Leaving Las Vegas, as far as his performance goes. The film itself was rather good as well. I'm not sure exactly how to describe it. I've seen others compare it to Harvey Keitel's "Bad Lieutenant", though I cannot verify this as I've not seen the movie with Keitel. At the same time though I've heard others say this version is extremely different and in fact more loosely based on the one with Keitel rather than entirely based on it. Either way I enjoyed this one and Nic Cage is primarily the reason why. Judge for yourself I guess.
