I wouldn't make the comparison since Samuel's movies are 10x better for the most part. Aside from Snakes on A Plane, Formula 51, and The Man Sam is pretty consistent with the projects he chooses. I like Nic Cage but he's on a serious downward spiral. I didn't know he was bankrupt...that explains it all.
IDK what it is but I feel some sort of way when I see a Nic Cage promo. It's like the desperateness comes through my screen. I can't believe he was trying to lobby for the role of Superman. Nigga please!
It seems as if cage is completely in his element when he plays a role that's exaggerated and over the top. but ive personally only enjoyed his acting when he was in raising arizona, wild at heart, face off, vampire's kiss, and bad lieutenant.
