Marketing really dropped the ball on this one by letting everyone assume it was "Nicolas Cage as John Wick but with a pig." It's a smart, forlorn, reflective character piece about a broken man who deeply cares for something authentic in an empty world. I'd say this is Nicolas Cage's best performance since Adaptation, but honestly, this understated and quiet film blows everything he's done out of the water.
Do NOT go into this one expecting an action flick. This is a slow indie film with a relentless focus on its main character. The most unclassifiable movie I've seen in a long while, and one that stays with you long after the credits roll.
One of the best thrillers I've seen lately, dark, atmospheric, oppressive with excellent characters (Toni Servillo, as a sleazy private investigator / money collector). Donato Carrisi's second film adaptation of his bestselling novels, and far better than the first "The Fog Man". Anyone who has already seen the first film knows relatively quickly that there is still a twist in the plot in the end and who the real bad guy is. The twist was implemented so well that the end was surprising.
Oh boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy! The storyline was not bad. The acting was terrible. I understand the political message behind this movie, bu the execution was just terrible. Is it worth watching? If you are bored YES.
