Cage does have the tendency to pick horrible roles. That still will never change the fact that I think he is a tremendous actor. His performance in Leaving Las Vegas is one of my top 5 favorites of all time, in fact it just may be my favorite performance ever.
Cruise may have been a great actor at one time and he may still be able to churn out decent performances here and there, but the guy has CLEARLY lost his mind.

He really does need to stop jumping at every role offered to him.
The only thing I've seen Cage in recently that was even remotely good was Lord of War. It's a shame what has happened to some of these once amazing actors. Not saying they dont have it in them, but they just seem to pick roles based on money.
He is overated by the general public because of the ****** crowd pleasing films he makes. His great roles quite often get forgotten or not noticed. The past few years everyone has turned on him and called him terrible but at one time he still has the abilty to give great performances. Frank T.J. Mackey and the cripple from Born on the Fourth of July are two of my favorite performances of all time.
Respect the ****. Tame the ****
Aside from a few Nicolas Cage roles, Raising Arizona, Lord of War, even Family Man I really find him to be boring and really a **** show of an actor

You both also forgot another personal favourite of mine, Matchstick Men. Cage is perfectly fine in that movie, does a great job. Although I like it more for my boy Sam Rockwell, Nick Cage does a good job in matchstick men.

Les Grossman: No, dickhead. Of course I could. A nutless monkey could do your job. Now, go get drunk and take credit at all the parties.
Studio Executive Rob Slolom: I wouldn't do that.
Les Grossman: Ah... joking.
Studio Executive Rob Slolom: Ah, there he is! Funny. You're a funny guy.
Les Grossman: Yeah. But seriously, a nutless monkey could do your job.
Byong: We no get money yet. Price now 100 million. You pay now, or tomorrow Simple Jack Die!
Les Grossman: Great. Let me get this down. 100 million... Oh, wait! I got a better idea. Instead of a hundred million, how about I send you a hobo's dick cheese? Then, you kill him. Do your thing, skin the ******* bastard. Go to town, man. Go to town! In the mean time and as usual, go **** yourself.

I don't think the writer was clear minded at the time to be honest.
