Two very damaged people find comfort with each other.
One of them is an actress who acts fairly convincingly.
The other is Nic Cage.
That’s why this is a failure.
If there is any message, it’s this: If your life is horrid and you feel there’s nothing to live for, find a hooker with a heart of gold and be honest with her. She’ll fall in love with you and be your saviour. Unless, of course, you don’t want one.
With the exception of that last sentence…didn’t that sort of cliche go out a long time ago?
Just say no to nihilism.
