Yeah, but you also get Nick Cage at his best, alternately scowling or standing there with his mouth hanging open for two straight hours.

i really liked it, parts of it are a little weird and it was a little off putting at times but it warmed to me. it has its own style, and cage does v well. it is very funny at times. 8/10.

my favorite line of the whole movie, made me laugh out loud: in white

<font color="white">Cage sits down with the president of liberia (the iman from Oz... awesome pick) and the president flatly tells him, "I will pay you in timber." </font>

[Born 2 Loose]

My favorite:

<font color="white"> when Cage rents the beach and hotel to meet his future wife and she says something like "this wasn't a coincidence we met like this." His reply "No, it was fate." Smooth.</font>

I actually worked here in DC on this issue for about 6 months, and went the the DC premiere of LoW... you hear DC called the ugly person's Hollywood, but to see how much staff and even members fawn over these guys is pretty disgusting.

Anyway, for entertainment value, the movie's probably just average or a little better, but the stats are all 100% accurate - most coming directly for fact sheets written by co-workers. Cage's character is also a composite of 4 real dealers, so even many of the ridiculous situations he gets himself into are pretty dead on (not the wife side plot, though).
