Cage's eyes

I watched this film a long time ago. Last fall
, I relived the darkness and ugliness of the film with the dog last fall. It left an indelible impression in my heart. That night, I held him tightly next to him. I didn’t dare.
Close your eyes Nicholas Cage’s performance in this film is slightly restrained, without the publicity of "My Heart is Wild", without the morbid state of "Far from Casino", what
brings everyone is a person who is waiting for the outbreak in silence, a person who is terrified.
His nightmare occupies a small 8mm video tape of all the people who awakened after life , which made him fall into an abyss that seemed invisible, and also made his seemingly ordinary life into the dark side of society.
The heavy tones and weird suspense in the middle film are like an airtight plastic sheet, tightly covered on your face, lingering for a long time, like a throat...
At first I didn’t understand why he wanted to tell the girl the truth. Mother, isn't it okay to let her keep a glimmer of hope? She always thought she would come back,
but he still said and gave her an confession. He has avenged the girl, and everything should be over. The

unforgettable look in Nicholas Cage's eyes is desperate, anxious, and full of sympathy. ..

    7 points, I don't watch much of Joaquin's movies, but I didn't even realize that he played the little bastard. The discussion forum said that this movie was based on "Dance of the Slaughterhouse", is that considered plagiarism? Even if this aspect is not considered, the subject matter of this movie is good, and the atmosphere is acceptable, but the whole film is extremely mediocre.

    Cage's performance in this film is his best in all films, surpassing Birdman. Seeing that the director is Schumacher will understand. This movie made me think, reflect, and ask questions about the protagonist in the film. Sex and violence seem to cross the border secretly at a time. Think of the island country’s love action movies, a sense of control runs through, maybe this is the budding of violence. evil eats you. Do you accidentally have a lot of things and thoughts wrong?
