Massively Underrated


I saw this film in the theaters and found it good but not great. I have returned to it a few times over the years and recently purchased it. Now I feel it is a great film. Critics and audiences were unkind but I feel time has been kind to it. It is Cage at his wild man best(in a good way) and the suspense set pieces are DePalma at his best as well.
I urge everyone to revisit this great thriller.

I am watching it right now and I agree. It's got some classic Nic Cage craziness. It uses cool filmmaking devices for the flashbacks which is cool. Plus it has Carla Gugino in it, and I don't typically swoon over actresses, but she really gets me going. So that is a very pleasant surprise.
