The only way to enjoy that movie is to embrace the cheese. It's incredibly dumb but as a big, dumb movie, incredibly entertaining.

It's one of my guilty Nic-Cage-in-a-90's-movie pleasures (the other is Con Air). I don't know why I can stand his 90's crap but CAN'T stand any of the crap he has done later.

Except, there are two movies where I really, really think he's a good actor: Leaving Las Vegas and Adaptation. It's just like he insists on doing bad movies even though the talent is there. It's so weird.

I've always been fascinated by Nic Cage's film career choices. I do quite like him and he's been in more than just a handful of films I like, but I do wonder what motivates him to do such a weird array of films. I mean, I understand somewhere in the 2000's apparently his publicist just signed him up to do a bunch of shitty films and he was in too much debt to decline them, but still.

Same guy who did a film like Leaving Las Vegas hams it up in Face/Off but then decides to do a family film like The Family Man. Like, what?

It has moments of cheese, sure, but it's got way more complexity than, say, Armageddon.

Moral shades of grey. Subtlety in characterisation. A deconstruction of James Bond.

Michael Bay went downhill after this.
