Reviews Featuring Nicolas Cage

Adaptation
Funny, fascinating, emotional and at times even shocking – definitely a film not to be missed.

Matchstick Men
Just when the confidence trick film seemed to have breathed its last, Ridley Scott has come along and given it new life by expanding its horizons. Not just a pretty scam (although it certainly is that), but also a redemptive drama whose deeply flawed central character is allowed to develop and change. Not a world changer, but far more intelligent and moving than 'Gladiator'.

Windtalkers
World War II at its most boring.

National Treasure
This amiable cake-eating adventure yarn tries to rediscover what has real value in America besides wealth, but cannot in the end resist showing us the money.
