Thank you, Mr. Cage

Rating: 9/10 (25 October 2005)

First I would like to say "Thank You!" to Nicolas Cage, not only for an outstanding performance, but for producing this movie. I have seen his character described as morally conflicted, but in reality Yuri is not morally conflicted, but the movie deftly puts the audience in the center of moral conflict. This is brave, intelligent, thoughtful and thought provoking story telling. Even more-so, it calls into question our own ethics and morality as the filmmakers see-saw us back and forth from elation to revulsion.
Posing tough moral questions, the movie provides no answers, or worse, the answers it provides are often and regrettably repugnant.
One cannot walk away from this movie without feeling its full impact.
Thanks again, Nicolas Cage for your brave movie making, from producer to performer.
