Two questions.
First, what the hell happened to Nick Cage's face? He was never an Adonis, but it's like all the skin on his face got hot in the sun and started to sag. I have no problem with letting actor's grow old gracefully, but to go from that young guy (who looks nothing like him... you couldn't find an Italian kid?) to Cage's Melty Face... it's a bad directing choice.
Second, why does every shot of Roxanne make her look like she's a teenaged girl who's posing for her prom picture? I don't think it's her fault. Partly, all the colour and angles around her just make her look fake, but she also has a 17-year-old girl's impression of "sexay" going on. The way she moves and turns and delivers lines. It's just awful.
I mean, seriously, what the hell was anybody thinking?

Are they serious with this shit? The fight scene was straight out of a twelve-year-old's power fantasy. This movie looks like crap. The special-effects consultant, the director, the cinematographer, the editor... what is wrong with these people? This is like a shitty cable show.

Sweet Jesus! They're actually doing the "reporter girlfriend" crap.

What fuck? "Fight fire with fire"? Who in their right mind thought this was good? I guess Nick Cage really was that desperate to be in a comicbook movie, but I'm still having trouble believing that someone poured money into this. Just proves that money people don't really know anything about movies.
