It's a good movie, Nicolas Cage did a great job here, the movie is a drama and critics that judged Cage in the past will be surprised by his performance in PIG, the movie shows what he is capable of and he does a good job of leading/holding the attention of the viewer, if you like nick Cage high energy pretentious movies like vampires kiss, then this is not for you, he cranks the energy into the drama element of the role, just a briliant performence overall.
