Like Manchester By the Sea, this movie builds to one incredible scene where Cage prepares an intricate meal for his antagonist for the purpose of reminding him of life before he became the villain of today. If you've ever had a meal where you proposed to a girlfriend, had a first date or learned of a pregnancy then you know how tastes and smells return you to that moment when you experience them again. Cage had served the villain a meal years before and its recreation now engendered empathy from the villain as he was able to understand Cage's pain about the loss of his pig through his own pleasant memories and sense of loss. It's not a meal, it's a memory and a connection. The person who wrote all of this was brilliant and actually must have experienced the feeling at some point in life. This is w/o a doubt Cage's best work since 'Leaving Los Vegas' and he should roll in another statue. If you get the layers of this film it will transform, if not, there aren't super heroes in it and you'll be bored.
