* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: Creator/NicolasCage has always been considered a great actor, but even his best performances have been identified by his legendary LargeHam tendencies. Here, while there are a few moments of outbursts, it's mostly a subdued, internal performance that shows how much depth Cage can truly bring to a role. It's not nothing that Cage himself considers this possibly his finest work and one of his best movies.
