Another Nick Cage "Look at ME," piece of crap. Elizabeth Shue is the only redeeming factor, but during the movie, I wished I was Leaving IT.

Not quite as good as I remembered. It starts off hot but doesn’t really keep it up. All but the last sentence of the description happens in the first 15 minutes. I wish the saxophone score hadn't been abandoned early on

One of the great joys of having a criticker-account: to wander through my top-100 and tp rewatch something that fits my mood. So today leaving las vegas, rewatching it after many years. Back in the day it hadn't occured to me that Cage was THIS good. Really an exceptional performance! I cried out loud laughing. Nevertheless, I trimmed my score from 94 to 88, because a lot that surrounds Cage is a little bit crappy to be honest… But those are details, I still value it as a great movie.

I watched this one to see how it aged. Great acting performances, no doubt, and I understand why the director would have chosen such an uneven narrative language; but dear gods the script, the cinematography, the score all became too much to make me care about the characters after a while. With a different director, this could have been a masterpiece. Now I'm sad.

Despite what the synopsises you read say, this is not a story about Nic's character; it's about Elizabeth Shue's. She does an amazing job, as does Nic, in portraying a codependent, destructive relationship between two broken people. The direction was great, and the score was appropriate. Do not expect easy answers or motivations; there is ambiguity as to what the characters actually are seeking from each other. However, the most impressive aspect is the tone. It's dazing, melancholy, and lonely.

It's a bit too cliché-stricken for my taste, when it comes to plot and overall direction, but the performances really make this movie work. Nicolas Cage is good (altough I think a performance like this comes relatively easy to him), but Elisabeth Shue really carries this movie.
