STARRING: NIC FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKIIIIIIING!!!!! CAGE (THE COPPOLA SAGA)Before becoming kind of a public enemy no. 1 for a few horror fans (namely Halloween), which ended with the ill-fated Believer, David Gordon Green seemed to have been building a very good filmography full of decent and really good dramas. Maybe he should have gone in that direction moving forward.A very slow burn of a film where nothing seems to happen in terms of action but the blossoming and complex relationship between Cage’s Joe and Tye’s Gary not only serves as the emotional but also moving piece of the whole film. Luckily, they are both great together and individually, namely Nick, whose “restrained” performance here reminded me of his turn on Pig, though this one has a little bit more action, mostly towards the end. Gary Poulter—who unfortunately died before the film’s release—was great as the abusive drunk father of Sheridan’s character, such an incredible performance that would have probably seen him finding success he may have been aiming for. Such a scene stealer.All in all, great direction paired with some great performances makes for maybe not the most exciting film ever but one worth checking out.STARRING: NIC FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKIIIIIIING!!!!!

Joe feels familiar with its narrative, something I've probably seen before, yet the performances kept me from looking away. Nicolas Cage stars as Joe, a foreman who runs an unethical business poisoning trees for others to come in to replant them out in the boonies. He encounters a battered 15-year-old boy Gary, played By Tye Sheridan, who’s unfazed, determined, and just wants to work for Joe, but faces challenges from his abusive father. Powerful performances from the cast. Cage for the most part played a more subdued role. There was a part in the movie where there was an unwarranted lengthy rambling from Joe we could have done without. If they cut that section out, we would have had a leaner film. Apart from that, it’s good. They weaved the characters to meet for an ending that works for this dark drama. It’s a Cage movie with heart.Nicolas Cage Films Ranked
