Not an Action Star
Who decided Nicholas Cage was even close to intimidating enough to be a decent action star?
The only action-star quality he has is the ability to point a fake gun at things and look haggard.
He was the Achilles heel of an otherwise solid over-the-top action fiesta.
It's like casting Adrian Brody in Predators, only sadder, because at least Adrian Brody isn't 15 years too old for the role.
