I hear you... it was slightly (sarcasm) unbelievable lol But I'm a sucker for those types of films.. a mixture of action, adventure, history, and intrigue. I had to overlook the breaking into the oval office and kidnapping the president parts and just try to forget them.. once they were forgotten it wasn't so bad lol

I just think it can't be that good of a movie when not even Ed Harris can save it.

Cage is a victim of his own hype. He believes he can do any movie, when he can't just do any movie.
It took thirty years for Robert De Niro to even believe he could do comedy... yet not even De Niro does true action films.
Most actors know their limits and what they shouldn't take (case in point: Will Smith declined Matrix), but not Cage.

Nicolas Cage thinks he can take any role and make it work. Even John Travolta thinks thats too much.
If Nick Cage thought he could get away with playing an infant on the live screen, he would do it.

I think Face Off was the only movie I'd rate as "good" that he starred in.
I am picky though.

Dammit... this thread is making me want to go watch Peggy Sue Got Married.... I'm going to watch it after RAW.. CURSE THIS THREAD!

This begs the question as to whether Cage may be a better supporting actor than a lead.
I actually like most of his work, but his best films really did require a much bigger genius than himself to play off.
He isn't Sean Penn or Daniel-Day who, by themselves, are 5 stars
He isn't Tom Hanks who, by himself, is a quality guarantee

There's a lot to this idea. It always seems that he works better having somebody of stature to play off of than when he's expected to carry the whole movie. He leaned pretty heavily on Jon Voight and the others around him (one being a fairly surprising turn by that actor who played his comedic sidekick) in National Treasure as well, while he didn't lean enough on them (particularly with the additions of Ed Harris, Helen Mirren, and Bruce Greenwood) in National Treasure 2. I've always felt that if those characters had been given a bit more focus, that had the potential to be a much better movie.

Did anyone mention MoonStruck?

 

[Wacokid27]

Kick-Ass: Yes.
Moonstruck: No (I know it's considered a good movie, but I think it's highly overrated).
