Dramatic setup and all. Then some mystery gets in the mix. Then the writer\/director (Neil LaBute) makes a wrong turn for the worse. Now it&#8217;s all silly. And I really mean silly, with the dramatic score still running in the background. Now THAT&#8217;s REALLY silly. Of course, you didn&#8217;t come for silly, so you&#8217;re pretty pissed in the end. And that&#8217;s the only thing that matters ultimately. Nic is a lot of men (besides The Wicker Man, he&#8217;s The Family Man, The Weather Man, and the Matchstick Man. He&#8217;s even a KaufMAN, and a MANdolin), but this one is the one you should forget about really fast.4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nicolas Cage hasn&#8217;t done anything this close to thriller\/horror stuff, but he always brings drama (City of Angels, Leaving Las Vegas) and a strange dose of humor (Lord of War, Adaptation) to the table.
