Butcher's Crossing - A shocking film directed by Gabe Polsky (Red Army) and starring Nicolas Cage (Leaving Las Vegas).

With an outstanding cast and intense narrative, this film has been praised for its authenticity and Cage's powerful performance.
Trespass is a home invasion thriller starring Nicolas Cage and Nicole Kidman. The story begins like many others in the genre: a seemingly wealthy family is attacked in their home by masked robbers looking for money. However, it is soon revealed that the family is bankrupt, bringing other complicated truths to light. Although somewhat tangled in its script, Joel Schumacher's direction (The Lost Boys) manages to maximize the tension of the situation, and the performances by Cage and Kidman are as good as you would expect. If you enjoy movies with intense emotions, you'll definitely enjoy this one.
In "Dream Scenario," Nicolas Cage returns to the big screen with a performance that may be considered one of the most memorable of his career. In this movie, the actor portrays Paul Matthews, an evolutionary biology professor whose monotonous existence is suddenly transformed when he begins to appear in the dreams of strangers. This inexplicable phenomenon leads to a narrative that blends humor, drama, discomfort, and surrealism, creating a cinematic experience that defies expectation - and leaves much to ponder in its second act. What at first seems like a nonsensical movie poking fun at itself turns into a scathing critique of cancellation culture. Starring Michael Cera and Julianne Nicholson (along with special appearances by Noah Centineo), the production explores themes of loneliness and the human desire for approval in today's society. Cage's performance is undeniable, bringing depth to a character that could easily have fallen into caricature. At the very least, it's a fascinating watch! Read the full movie review.
Nicolas Cage is one of those action heroes who loves an adventure that pushes the limits of absurdity - and once again that's the case, much to the delight of the actor's fans. In the story, Hero (played by Cage), a criminal, must break a curse to save a woman (Sofia Boutella, from “Atomic Blonde”) who has mysteriously disappeared. To make matters worse, the protagonist faces an additional challenge in his adventure: if he doesn't rescue her within five days, the explosive device he is forced to wear will detonate. Prisoners of the Ghostland" draws from the well of fast-paced action adventures, knowing that it's the irrationality that audiences are looking for. In this context, Nicolas Cage as a completely unpredictable "hero" manages to entertain throughout. So embrace the absurd and go on this journey.
Nicolas Cage is an actor who had everything to become one of Hollywood's leading names but ended up taking a dubious path. Especially after some big failures ("The Sorcerer's Apprentice" and "National Treasure: Book of Secrets"), he chose to prioritize questionable projects and films that lacked artistic quality. It seemed that Cage was destined for failure. Until the star began to turn things around with movies like 'Mandy' and 'Pig', culminating in full recognition with 'The Unbearable Weight of MassiveTalent'. This movie places the actor in a cult category that's hard to achieve. The film tells the story of Nicolas Cage himself - although with a fictional veneer - who is going through a rough patch in his career after missing out on a major role. Disillusioned, he accepts the suggestion of his manager (Neil Patrick Harris) to attend the birthday party of a Spanish billionaire (Pedro Pascal) who wants Cage there. Thus begins the actor's adventure in Spanish lands, which mixes slapstick comedy, action sequences, and above all, a tribute to Nicolas Cage's work, showing that, despite his choice of projects, he's undeniably one of those stars whose work we can (and should!) appreciate.
