Long Legs (Hulu) Nick Cage

Weird movie. Didn't even know it was Cage until he did his usual yell. Love him, but he was wasted in this movie. Actually, any money involved in makeing this film was a waste.

lower your expectations​

I was way too hyped for this, obviously the comparison upfront (Se7en, Silent of the lambs) and the whole style and atmosphere from the trailer lead to my over excitement.

Considered that this genre is pretty rare (mystery, thriller, horror), it's a good movie. It's slow, however I don't mind that at all. Cage and Monroe are outstanding. It just don't help the rather predictable plot & the huge missed opportunity to give this movie an ending it deserves. Especially the ending is unbelievable, doesn't really tie in and as mentioned above was kinda obvious (however I was hoping throughout the movie that there is a better and bigger twist). I like that the mystery and psychic personality components are absolutely up to the viewer. There's lots of atmospheric stuff in the background which is beautifully visually captured, reminds a bit of 'It Follows'.

To sum it up, lower your expectations, this isn't Se7en, which isn't the point anyway as comparisons are usually not helpful, and still we often rely on them or put too much measurement into it. It definitely entertains.

He did a lot of bad movies. Keeping in mind there is no one in Hollywood worse with his money than Cage. The man is an imbecile. He had no choice but to take any role he could to pay debts

Loved him in Face Off. I like his movies. All of them, actually. Except this one.

An "actor" like that is all I need to know that the movie is bad.

He was very good in Pig, surprised me. But like I say, the man is a proven imbecile and can't seem to pick a good role to save his life

Speaking of an imbecile actor that can't pick good roles - Robert DeNiro. His movies are either really good or really terrible.

Ya, it seems that even bad actors can sometimes strike gold. Maybe they were just in bad roles all along. Maybe they finally work with a good director and/or other good actors that make them better.
