Pretty cool movie and one of Nicholas Cage's better films!

Rating: 6/10 (8 February 2008)

I just watched it again for my second time. I forgot I watched it the first time so I guess it wasn't that good of a movie. This movie scores a 6 on my vote. The bullet sequence special effects lathered intro is awesome and I love how it goes from country to country in the viewer. Cool true story and fictionalized to the Hollywood extent this film is good but not Mr. Cage's best work. Oh, and I love the Soviet accent he and Jarred Leto try to pull off. I think Jared Leto had a better performance but I am a bigger fan of his work then Nicholas Cage. I respect Nicholas Cage because he is related to Francis Ford Coppola but didn't want that to be the reason for his success so he changed his name when he went into acting. And one of his first films also owes success to Coppola as Cage was casted in Rumble Fish as "Smokey". Nicholas Cage is a poor actor which has luckily been casted in some good films. I never expect too much from his acting and I liked Lord of War as much as Snake Eyes. Mr. Cage, stick to action movies!
