If it was a book it would be
Nick Cage in a testing, serious role. The plot grabbed my attention from the word go - 'is this true, did it really happen?' - that is what Nick must find out. A totally plausible film where we are taken on a ride which looks at a seedy side of life. Quite an absorbing film and - if it were a book it would be 'unputdownable'.
