It's not that Nic Cage isn't a decent actor. He can be. Sometimes, he's even quite good. Just watch Raising Arizona or Adaptation to be sure. Ah ah ah, hold it Buster. Before you jump over to your Netflix account and rearrange you queue, plop over to Cage's IMDB page and research the rest of this dude's body of work.
Is it really possible that someone who has appeared in over 60 feature films could really have to count National Treasure or Valley Girl as one of his crowning achievements? That appears to be the case here, folks. Look at the shit he's said yes to: 8MM, Trapped In Paradise, Bringing Out The Dead, Snake Eyes and Face Off. And that's just scratching the surface of this statue of cinematic dung.
You're thinking, "Hold on here man! This guy won an Oscar." Yep, he has. Somehow, the Academy managed to give him a statue for pushing a liquor-filled shopping cart down the aisle while wasted and he managed to "act" like he wanted to have sex with Elisabeth Shue. That is attention to craft isn't it?
This trouser smack is on its way fast and furious and once he's atoned for the slop that was already mentioned, he'll have to be punished in spades for Guarding Tess, It Could Happen To You and Amos & Andrew and a whole host of other trash he's cooked up in the last 25+ years. It's noble that he worked to keep it a secret that he's a member of the Coppola family, but he's the only one in the clan capable of making Sofia look like she's not the least talented actor in the bunch.
