    Nobody watches a movie and goes to themselves "this is gutsy".

    Nic Cage is a much better actor than many of the hollywood "big names". He doesn't just play himself doing another job like a lot of oscar baiting actors do.

    I would have loved, if they'd made an alternative version of Lynch's "Wild At Heart", with Cage using that exact same voice. That would've given this movie a different spin entirely, LOL😂
