cage is a better director than actor?


I love this film, and was quite suprised that Nick Cage directed this film. I personaly think that Cage is a better dirctor than actor. What do you think?

Cage has obviously been inconsistent across his career, and has chosen to be in a LOT of very bad movies, BUT... when he wants to, he's up there with the best of them.

If you've seen...

Leaving Las Vegas
City of Angels
8MM
Bringing out the Dead
Matchstick Men
Knowing

and Joe...and you still think that he's a terrible actor, then I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

Personally, I think there are so few deserved Best Actor Oscars, but Cage's is one of them. It's hard to imagine a more sparkling and unique performance for a really challenging script.
