Best movie of 1997!

Rating: 10/10 (11 August 1998)

Without a doubt, the best movie of the year. This movie has it all -- action, comedy, tragedy, love, hate, violence -- and then some! When the movie seems to be getting just a little too serious, the writers will insert a great comic line. The casting for this movie was excellent -- John Malkovich is utterly convincing as the socio-pathic Cyrus the Virus, and Nicolas Cage is brilliant as the laconic ex-ranger. Monica Potter as Poe's wife brings just the right mixture of love and suffering to the role, and Landry Allbright's performance as Casey Poe proves that young actresses can be excellent actresses.
