The film career of Nicolas Cage is like a Disney ride designed by The Cat in the Hat. It’s up, it’s down, and it’s entirely out of sight…
Just when you think he’s on a winning streak, he bets all on black and comes up red for at least three in a row. Personally, I think he’s been ill advised, but equally it could be he can sniff out a hammy role at thirty paces, and likes relish with his.
So buckle up, Elvis has left the building, here comes the Cage Reckoner.
