\ufeffThe cult of Nicolas Cage is confounding. With 116 feature film credits to his name, the oft-meme\u2019d Cage-rage\u2014the inimitable, over-the-top brand of acting\u2014is only part of the puzzle. Taken alongside his genuinely brilliant performances, one might chalk up the dichotomy to rocky finances (not incorrect)... or one might begin to see Cage-rage as an art\u2014a western Kabuki, perhaps. This contradiction might be exactly what fuels a fandom and turns appreciation into unconditional love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the CIA closing in on the birthday boy, Nick Cage must act his way out of the crossfire. Pulling from every corner of his colossal oeuvre, both Cages\u2014fictional and real; Nick and Nicolas\u2014achieve transcendence.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
