Pig

a review by Wiccaburr

With this starring Nic Cage, you would think it'll be a thriller with the same vibe of John Wick...and you would be sorta right.

This movie was a drama first and thriller second as we go on a journey for the main character's (Rob) pig while we explored the past of Rob and Amir's lives. There was no graphic violence, no cage rage, and no insane scenes. Like Arnold Schwarzenegger in the movie Maggie (2015), this showed Cage as a raw performer which we rarely see these days.

With that said, there will be comedic moments but nothing goofy or silly. This story played on the emotions and connections the main character had toward others. If you went into this movie wanting action and Cage being a crazy individual, this won't be a good watch for you. The direction, story, and performance were all great. It did set a tone throughout and this was Michael Sarnoski's directorial debut.

Overall...this movie was something I didn't expected and it was pretty damn good. This movie might not be for everyone but it was definitely a good one in my book. Especially that ending. Go into this without any knowledge of what to expect.
