Early in Nick Cage's career he showed promising signs of becoming a good/great actor, and undeniably he has become that. What he lacks though is the ability to become a great "character" on screen - he always looks like he's acting. Every facial expression looks too made-for-the-camera, rather than an outward display of an inner emotion. Even Gone in 60 Seconds gave me that impression. While you coule relate with the "character's" sentiment through cage's performance, I never had the feeling that Cage himself WAS the character. I'm not saying I don't like his movies I just doubt his abilities to lose himself in the part the way a great actor does. Other actors have been able to bring themselves to the screen and be instantly recognisable as a Jeff Goldblum or a Michael Douglas, even (God forbid) a Tom Cruise - these guys always make it look like the action is happening to Michael Douglas or Tom Cruise, but you still believe them in the role. Cage doesn't have enough charisma to pull that off so shouldn't try. I will dust off my 3,4 and 5 out of ten plaques for preview night. Katie Kay Holmes.
