  • Cage is amazing. Film is amazing.

    Rated - 5.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    An amazing film by the extremely talented Alan Parker, who directed Pink Floyds the wall among many others. Early Nick Cage shows him at his very best, raw, natural and bursting with kinetic energy. Moddine also brings in a perfect class act, and the 2 gel so perfectly, you'd think they were twins. a very subtle but deeply meaning full piece of work. A must see for any age or disposition.

  • Birdy - an all time classic

    Rated - 4.5 stars

    Wow, an all time classic and should have won an oscar! If you like Matthew Modine in this - you must see Full Metal Jacket by Stanley Kubrick - another shocking Vietnam movie showing how these boys were trained and then put into Hell!

    Nic Cage could have won an oscar for his performance, he deserved one.

    The story was about friendship , individuality and acceptance. it was heart warming.

  • Depressing

    Rated - 1.0 star  
    By a customer from Stroud , 09 Feb 2009
    I took this DVD because this is a film of the book by William Wharton, all of whose books I found exceptional. That is more than I can say for the film. There is nothing wrong with Nicholas Cage's acting, but the unfolding story does not present the viewer with a reason to watch it. After about 40 minutes, I gave up and read a book.
