Saw it yesterday. A "return to form" as the critics say for Nicolas Cage. No time to mug or over emphasize his words, just straight forward acting and re-acting to the situations.

It is a thoughtful and visually impressive film, the plane crash sequence being particularly memorable.

Of course this type of movie has been done before you can see influences from everything from Deep Impact, The Day After Tomorrow and even Contact in its style.

The script is very deep, sometimes text book like in its prose, but it keeps you interested until the final frame. The acting by the cast in particular Cage and Rose Byrne is terrific.

I would recommend it. A good Saturday night at the movies type movie, in fact.

I haven't seen it yet but it's one I've been wanting to see ever since I read about it last year. It's the type of film I like......and I hate to say it, but I think I'm becoming a Nic Cage fan

A Nic Cage Fan??? NOOOOoooooooo!!! Turn back to the light Cat

I've liked a few of his more recent films but I think it had more to do with the subject matter than him

....though he was very good in The Weather Man cause his hangdog type of look suited the long suffering character he was playing

I'm only kidding with you...i don't think he's that bad...i do think he has gotten certain parts that i don't think suited him.....

I do love Gone in 60 Seconds and he's very good in that i think

Gone In 60 Minutes. They're tasked with stealing Skoda Turbo's and Lada's. I can see the tagline now:

"3 Seconds to break into....... A lifetime to the end of the street!"
