Is he horrible as a cause of being an action star, or horrible as an action star? Like, does being an action star automatically rank an actor as horrible? Or are their specific attributes to befit when becoming one?
I'm not jumping on you or anything; just wanted an opinion on something I thought of myself when reading your post. I think Cage suffers from a common trait, that he tends to play only himself, and as a result is cast in safe, typecast roles. His best work is in Face/Off (1997); but I have Leaving Las Vegas ready to watch.
Thanks, Mick
