Featured review
Nicholas Cage still has got it! The man can still act, he only needs a good screenplay and a decent director.
The good: solid acting performances in a bleak, hardhitting, true to life story about going down the drain.
It's a slowburning story, but a REAL one and however depressing it might be, it is touching as well.
Recommended for the arthouse movie fans.
