I have to learn more about this flik before I decide if I am interested. Nicolas can be brilliant, but he can also often be rather lame.

Brilliant: Face Off
Lame: Ghost Rider, Wicker Man

Face/off was awesome

I gotta say, I was suprised by this film. I had heard that it was a generic, predictable Nic Cage film, but it was suprisingly fun. There's of course a little bit of the cheese factor, but I was really suprised how much I enjoyed this film. The locales are really varied, too, so if done right this could be excellent demo material. I'll be picking it up.

It was based off a Philip K. Dick short story, so the premise is great. But I did not see the film so I can't comment.

Same with me, I respect Philip K. Dick (how can one not after "Blade Runner" and "Total Recall"), but I have not seen this one for myself.

The movie was great......
up till the last 2 mins of the movie, that ending just totally ruined the film.
its such ashame cause it was a movie that was alot of fun till that horrible ending.
definately up there with the worst movie endings of all time.

speaking of total recall i just ordered the french import cant wait to see it.

In all honesty Ithought the film was pretty weak but what I find even more interesting is most people dont understand the ending at all. Did you understand it? Looking at alot of the posts on IMDB.com I was shocked at how many people just didnt understand it for the life of them. It really not a bad ending if you understand it. What made this film weak was the performances especially by Julianne Moore and Jessica Biel and even Cage was a bit weak in this one. Besides that I thought the story itself was ok and I didnt have a problem with the ending.

wow another Nic Cage movie. he is like the kiss of death to me regarding movies (with a few exceptions). & Blu Ray can have Ghostrider...I fell asleep watching it & asked my wife how it ended.

this movie i thgouth was fun to watch, but doens't warrant a purchase unless there are going to be some cool special features.

when i think of N Cage, i think of ConAir and Face/Off, both were from 10 years ago.

i guess he just doens't draw a big audience anymore.
