Con Air

On BBC 1 now. Good film but by god I hate Nick Cage! He just never looks right for a role and his terrible accent is like nails being dragged down a chalkboard.

He makes me cringe, but the films worth it for Steve Buscemi near the end

Buscemi's great in this.

I really like Cage. I especially like his accent

Have you seen Leaving Las Vegas or Adaptation? They might change your mind about him.

I've never seen this, although Simon Pegg seems to love it in 'How to lose friends and Alienate people'!!

Its a great film and Buscemi is brilliant. I think Cage is ok in the film.

You have to watch it.

Great performances by Cage and Malkovich imo. Some funny and entertaining moments and dialogue

Awesome film

Nicolas Cage is an awful actor.

yet hes been in a few epic films as the main role.

Nic Cage is a good actor who recognises that he's got to pay bills and as such, has accepted many shoddy roles to make ends meet.

He's had some excellent roles. Leaving Las Vegas being the main one.

To be fair, he's doing a John Travolta impersonation in that video.

Did you see the Wicker Man parts? absolutely laughable!

jp_bl_68 · 4 Jul 2010 at 02:19

He's made some ***** in the past but he's made some good movies too.

You didn't even watch the youtube clip because it goes through most of his famous films, not just Faceoff.

I watch his films, but even I would admit he's a TERRIBLE actor.

It's late and I've been drinking (coincidentally, my favourite excuse)

I thought Leaving Las Vegas and Adaptation were great. The Rock, Con Air, Lord of War, 8mm, Snake Eyes, Face/Off, Honeymoon in Vegas and Rumblefish were enjoyable too. He's better than people give him credit for.

K1LLSW1TCH · 4 Jul 2010 at 02:37

I like his films, but I just think sometimes he says a line in a film that isn't meant to be funny, yet I still end up sniggering.

I think he was quite good in Gone in 60 Seconds, and Lord of War.

Cage might not be a great actor but he is a movie star.

Like Steven Seagal, I enjoy watching Nicolas Cage films just for the hilarious acting. Saying that, he has been in some cracking films, notably Lord of War.
