Nicholas Cage is great in this very under the radar movie. The description does not do the movie justice.
An ex-con, who is the unlikeliest of role models, meets a 15-year-old boy and is faced with the choice of redemption or ruin.
These characters seem real. You get sucked in to their everyday. The end is a bit of a disconnect from the rest of the pacing of the film, but it doesn't ruin it.
You should by all means watch this.
Trivia: Gary was a homeless man given the part of Wade the Father by the directer, Green, who often casts locals in his movies. He died on the streets of Austin a couple of months after filming stopped.
This was really good too. I was two for two last night.
It's a weird interesting tale of a quiet shy odd guy who sometimes spaces out imagining crazy circumstances far more exciting than his real life.
The acting was good. Ben Stiller also directed it, which I thought was also quite good.
I don't want to say too much, because I knew very little going in and loved seeing it all unfold.
I dug the soundtrack too. It made me buy an album by Junips, who had several songs in the movie.
