Guilty pleasure watching Cage being absolute Cage-iest. His performance only gets more incredible upon multiple viewings. Don't trust the haters

Never seen it before, read that Nicolas Cage is like Jerry lewis in France. The only purely comedic role i know of is Raising Arizona, which is amazing. This is considered one of his most unhinged comedic performances and it truly is fantastic, he apparently went as far as to eat 2 giant real **** during filming.

Still my favourite movie after all these years and many viewings. You see something new each time. The story and performances are so complex you really can't tell where people are actually coming from. I've way too dramatic and scary to be a comedy, way too funny to be a horror drama, it's not wonder a lot of people can't wrap their minds around this movie. Yes you don't ever 'identify' with Cage's character but you do identify with all his victims, something that is pretty rare. Physically he doesn't change thoughout the movie but by the end you can't even believe Lowe is being played by the same actor he has been so transformed by his disease or madness or whatever it is. And it's shot just beautifully. Highly recommended if you want to see something completely different for a change.

This movie is amazing in the sense that it takes you back to that late 80s feel. It is definitely worth the title of being a comedy horror, as the scenes with Cage's insanity are hilarious, but some scenes are just quite creepy and make you feel uncomfortable. And all along the goddamn contract was somewhere in the goddamn ****ing files!
