He was good in Reinfeld. Very believable. 
There are 2 Nicolas Cage’s. I like both of them even though neither of them are the greatest actors. But they do have their moments.

Anyone else seen August in the Water?
Pretty obscure 90s Japanese film. Hauntingly beautiful soundtrack and nostalgic aesthetic. Plot is completely nonsensical. I really enjoyed it. Best watched in the middle of summer or when you are pining for it imo. Can be found on youtube.

I sort of remember not liking it much
I’m surprised it’s not a bit more well known. I only heard about it by chance about 6 years back but didn’t see it until recently because I couldn’t find it anywhere.
Saw this a few days ago. Not bad. Almost never see a “Macao” film. Nice cameo, in English, by Anthony Wong 黃秋生. For those unaware in last decade or so:
Wong is a supporter of the 2014 Umbrella Movement, a series of pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong. This has reportedly led to limited acting opportunities for him in mainland China. He has also voiced support for the 2019–20 Hong Kong protests. On 18 April 2021, Wong was approved for Taiwan’s Employment Gold Card, allowing him to work in Taiwan without needing to apply in advance. It also allows him to receive tax incentives and National Health Insurance.
