SAVE YOUR MONEY. neveldine and taylor spent most of their 10 minutes working on this movie on the awful cut scenes. they spent so much time on unneccesary moments and shifting from black and white to color and many other horrible ideas that there was no character development. i didnt even care for nicolas cage's character, and i personally think hes a great actor, but at times it was laughable what they made him do. as a favor to the american public, neveldine and taylor should never direct anything again.
