We find Nic playing a depressed con artist with severe obsessive compulsive disorder, who through a series of events meets his long lost daughter, plans a risky con with his partner Frank and tries to better himself with the help of his new therapist. It's a brilliantly acted, written and directed film that showcases Mr. Cage's true range and talent. In our second film Nic...2020-05-082h 24

This comedic crime film introduces us to the whacky world of the Coen Brother's and one of Mr. Cage's first truly memorable characters, the live action version of Woody Woodpecker, H.I. McDunnough. It was our first real taste of not only his comedic timing and supreme acting chops...2020-04-162h 15

Nobody Puts Nic In A CageEpisode 4: Lord of War/Dog Eat DogFor our fourth episode we take a look at two films bipolar in tone from one another. The first is an engrossing thriller about gun running that is one of Nic's truly under appreciated and overlooked films, Lord of War (2005). Mr. Cage gives one of his most even-keeled and spot on performances of his career; while also demonstrating his narration chops. In the second film he is joined on screen by the equally talented Willem Dafoe in a bat shit crazy, off-kilter crime thriller called Dog Eat Dog (2016).

The first is a mindblower of a horror/sci-fi movie based on an H.P. Lovecraft short story, The Color Out of Space (2019). It is a hauntingly beautiful movie that really showcases Mr. Cage's acting range. It gives new meaning to the term "family bonding". Our second film is a true hidden gem. It's a dark comedy/crime film entitled The Trust (2014). It pairs Nic up with Elijah Wood and the two are electric on the screen together. This film has tones of the...2020-03-261h 36
Nobody Puts Nic In A CageEpisode 2: Mandy/RageFor our second episode we take a look at two completely polar opposite films. The first film we review is an acid trip of a horror/revenge flick named Mandy (2018). Nothing could prepare us for the mind melt that is this magnificent film. It may just prove to be Mr. Cage's finest performance of his storied career. The second movie we review is a steaming pile of hot seedy shit entitled Rage (2014). You too will be enRaged by this lack luster, straight to the toilet crime movie. Unfortunately it has the kind of performance by Nic that just might prove...2020-03-191h 08
