The effect left me sick to my stomach and very much aware of the seriousness of that scene. Nicolas Cage was great. A lot of the same elements of passion that he showed in Face Off were prevalent in this film. Cage is trying to find out the secret behind a film found in the vault of a deceased aristocrat. The benefactors of the state believe the victim may have actually been killed.
Cage is hired to find out the truth.
As he searches for this girl, he is reminded of his own wife and daughter and the search becomes a heroic father trip. He risks everything to find out the truth. Submersing himself in the underground porn scene and finding out the harsh realities of this tragedy is too much for a father and he must finish his job. This Tom Hanks film was close to a masterpiece. What a great film to start off this blog.
