Yeah, Cage is tough to catch up with. <br /><br />Am I getting through to you...ALBA?!<br /><br />Have you seen 'Deadfall'? It's an insta-watch on Netflix. Terrible movie, but it's worth seeing for Cage's performance. I have no idea what was going on in his head in that one.Shanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15033662507699896530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784846369945401487.post-31692706977994769192011-06-25T07:15:52.406-07:002011-06-25T07:15:52.406-07:00Yeah, this is probably my favorite Cage performanc...Yeah, this is probably my favorite Cage performance ever. Mainly because it happened before Cage became famous for such acting.<br /><br /><br />As for the accent, there is some trivia on IMDB about that very thing.<br /><br />"Peter's strange accent is supposed to be a fake accent used by the character because he thinks he sounds more "elegant" and "smarter" (hence the literary agent job). The accent comes and goes throughout the movie and is more prominent when trying to impress people, and less in scenes with people like the psychiatrist."<br /><br /><br />If thats true, its a bold decision by Sir Nicolas. It seems to work too, since you noticed it so much.<br /><br />For me the best parts of this movie are his interactions between his character and Maria Conchita Alonso. Every moment between them is comedic gold, and also highly disturbing.<br /><br /><br />The funny thing about this movie is, I originally rented it, way back in like 1989, because it had Jennifer Beal in it, and I had not seen her in anything since Flashdance, and like all other naive young men of the day, had a tremendous crush on her. Its interesting that all these years later, you dont even mention her in your review, and frankly her part is completely invisible when compared to Cage.<br /><br /><br />A 16 from me...its highly entertaining and very original.<br /><br /><br />Have you noticed that Season of the Witch has just come out on DVD and Blue Ray? It certainly looks like another out of body experience with a Cage film. Hopefully you can review these films at a faster rate than Cage is making them.Barrynoreply@blogger.com
