The first scene of the life of a bullet is awesome...
Nicolas Cage carries the film well.
Jared Leto may be picking up some good 2nd roles since he started...
Andrew Nicol, Director : Lord of War (2005); S1m0ne (2002);# Gattaca (1997) + producer of Terminal and the Truman Show.
Interesting....
A decent enough film that won't change anything....but do go and see it.
Follow Ups:
As you said it won't change those facts of life but I agree it's a very good movie. I enjoyed it tremendously !AP

His part was what made the movie good. But think of another actor reciting those same lines, but less phlegmatically. Tom Cruise would have done far better, (think how much more chilling and convincing he was in Collateral) Cage cannot even stand well, he looks nervous, not in his skin, He recites lines like he is reading them for the first time off of que cards. The scene in the shower had no eroticism, it looked like fistfight.Were it not for the great script, and beautiful cinematography, this move would have stunk. Next to Robin Williams, Cage is the worst actor in Hollywood. Think how well Paul Giamotti could have carried off that role.

Cage was excellent! Watched the movie twice on my flight from Europe. Just top make sure.
..russian looking of american actors!
I don't think Nicholas is up there with the very best but he certainly is a GREAT actor. I agree he could have done better in L.O.W but I still find his style captivating and I always enjoy his movies.Cheers !

Vampire's Kiss (OK, so his Boston accent stunk), Leaving Las Vegas (Serious shit done well), Honeymoon In Vegas (THE actor for that role), Kiss Of Death (His Junior was full of evil energy), Moonstruck (made me pine for the OPERA), Matchstick Men (Made sorry ass con man sympathetic), Face Off (One sorry ass sumbitch), and City Of Angels (Broke yer heart). I'm not saying hes Gene Hackman or anything like that, but hes pulled off a number of good roles and in some, I think he would be THE defining actor in them.

...in "Vampires Kiss"! His "California accent Vampire" would make any surfer Dude proud.
"Matchstick Men", "Adaption" being my favorite Cage roles. He does seem to be getting better with age. Sometimes I wish he was a little less prolific!Really good points - and enjoyable thread.

I had the unique opportunity to watch tapes of him working out how the two brothers would carry themselves... body language, inflection etc.It was amazing to see the transformation from him to them and from one of them to the other. He definitely embodied the characters.

Odd how it was paced that way--keeping one slightly off balance. The opening sequence was awesome. I found it nearly educational in its own way. I could have done without Leto's character, though.
is making a nice niche for himself as Modern Man, kind of amoral-lite.
I just watched this last night and was going to post. I liked it -- found the voice overs breezy and entertaining. The character arc and feel of the film reminded me of Goodfellas without the comraderie.The opening "bullet eye" viewpoint was well done.
..coming across like some kind of fable so that when the end hammered home the actual truth, it seemed to hit even harder.
