He hasn't made a good movie since Raising Arizona. He's kinda like Mark Wahlburg. They have no range.
I think this is simply gonna be a guilty pleasure kind of movie. For die hard gangster flick fans only
As far as reach, I think Cage is a great actor who just has some issues he needs to deal with. Acting wise he is capable of great work, with a wide range. Wahlberg however, I agree, the guy is pretty much the same in every movie. Usually with the blank stare. He tries some comedy, and the movies are funny, but his acting is always... stale.
