The film PIG, like its lead actor, defies expectations in the best of ways. If you need a reminder of how talented and thoughtful Nicolas Cage is as an actor, simply watch this one. A simply beautiful film, PIG unfolds like a mystery, revealing the heart of a broken man who has learned to love again. In a masterful performance that is quiet, sensitive, poetic, and heartbreaking, Nicolas Cage reminds you once again why he is one of the best actors alive, and why he is indeed - and I apologize in advance for this - a national treasure.
