Movie Haiku:Cage has made some really awful films (8MM? Yech!) but this one is surprisingly good--a serious, low-key thriller about a decent guy who gets in way over his head. Jones is also a surprise as the resourceful wife. And snippets of Shakespeare & classical music are a relief after years of mindless explosions & endless car chases. Thanks, Roger: it worked for us :-)
