Why? I understand this desire to do low budget independent films with the hope that perhaps, just perhaps, it will be the next pulp fiction - not that this low level script would lead anyone to that conclusion. Yet, there you are, accepting that horrible make-up and rediculous costume. And you didn't walk off the set. You took the inept direction of Steven C. Miller, and just went along with it. Why? Why would a talented actor agree to participate in such nonsense. The other actors all had reasonable characters, with ressonsble accents, and then there was you, Nicolas cage with a rubber nose, waning accent, rediculous wardrobe and hair. I'm sorry, it just begs the question, Why? Did Bernie Madoff take all of your money? Are you now addicted to drugs? Is it just plain greed? I need to understand why. How did they convince you to stay once you witnessed the truth?Please help us all understand.
... View MoreMovies don't get much worse than this. Between Cage in a ludicrous wig or Grenier as a tough guy I don't know which is worse. Unintentionally funny,embarrassing for all involved. Cage is his scenery chewing self, and Grenier as unconvincing as always. There is , however, some eye candy.
... View MoreI have to write one this that everyone is missing in the reviews.The make up!!! This really isn't a bad movie but don't expect anything more than a new movie with a plot. Very good effort from all the actors and Cage would had done a better job if he played his normal cocaine character in this movie. That and the blood wigs and very noticeable fake facial hair is what destroyed this movie. He was slightly to much in terms of acting and his costume design was ridiculous. That's all that's bad. Cage and make up on the cast. Perhaps say no to ridiculous make up guys when staring in movies. Have some dignity
... View MoreThis was one of the worst films I have seen in quite some time. Cage was so terrible. He over acted every scene. Adrian Grenier was good, and his performance was convincing. It was the best, and only good aspect of this film. Schaech was also good. But it was poorly directed, really bad writing, by the book editing, no surprises here. I feel really bad, that I wasted over an hour of my life, and fortunately, I was able to fast forward some of the film, as there was really nothing there. Do not bother. Cage will do any film with a paycheck attached, at this stage of his once glorious career. The man has talent. Too bad we so rarely get to see it these days.
