Marketing really dropped the ball on this one by letting everyone assume it was "Nicolas Cage as John Wick but with a pig." It's a smart, forlorn, reflective character piece about a broken man who deeply cares for something authentic in an empty world. I'd say this is Nicolas Cage's best performance since Adaptation, but honestly, this understated and quiet film blows everything he's done out of the water.

Do NOT go into this one expecting an action flick. This is a slow indie film with a relentless focus on its main character. The most unclassifiable movie I've seen in a long while, and one that stays with you long after the credits roll.

@triseult You wrote a great review here and I agree with all of it. I actually like the idea that it wasn't marketed very well. I suspect this movie will gain it's audiences over time and be much loved.

Rated this 10. I think it’s actually a masterpiece and Nick Cage’s best.

Nicolas Cage in a great thriller. It's not an action movie, so you gotta take that in mind (for me that's a plus, not everything has to explode all the time)

Watch it if you’re a fan of John Wick!
Highly recommended to anyone who wants to see Nick Cage slamming people with a baseball bat while screaming “where’s my pig?”

This movie was an unexpected treat. These days it seems rare for Cage to find a decent script but he found one here and he knocked it out of the park. There is a real character study in here and it is not limited to the lead. Excellent script, excellent acting and a really nice movie.

I find it a bit ironic that caring about emotional substance more than action makes us bots.

@omoba-david It's not an action movie. It doesn't say action anywhere in the description. If you saw Nic Cage and assumed it was going to be some wacky action romp that's on you.

@omoba-david Looks at your ratings to see how you actually view films. Oh look 1,5,10. So the movie states that it is about a man looking for his pig. Were you expected John Wick. By the way, John Wick isn't about the dog like everyone thinks it is. If you actually watch the movie you learn its about him returning to his past life. Also, what do you consider a poor story? Funny how movies you review that have stories and are known for good stories you give them a 5. So you need your story in Golden Books form. Just five pages of dialogue and then pew pew the entire time? Everyone is entitled to their opinion but maybe don't spew your opinion if you can't actually explain what you watched. But that's alright, you are learning. Picture books, to golden books, and then maybe in a few years you can read Goosebumps. You will catch on. Damn, hope you don't have kids and they expect a story from you.

@omoba-david The movie had it's moments, but I found it fairly boring and unsatisfying. I'm sure some people can enjoy that kind of thing, but I know there's a fair number who wouldn't be into it. Hardly seems worthy of the 97/100 score it got.

@omoba-david Wow. A movie talking about how there isn't enough humanity left in the world, and you call the people who liked it robots. The irony here is deafening.

@rexton Certainly not a generational thing. They were so obsessed with masturbation in the past they made Corn Flakes, one of the most boring cereals in the world, to help curb it. And as for pew pew pew & Fortnite, there were a few more world wars to fill that void.

This movie is really something special. Having had this sold to me as "John Wick but with Nic Cage and a Pig", I went in expecting dumb action and loud set pieces. What I actually got was Chef made by A24, and I absolutely loved it. Pig is a sombre look at the effects of grief and loss on those left behind. It's bleak, but so masterfully told and way above the expectations I'd set for myself going in. So much is told with so little dialogue, it's truly impressive stuff. Nic Cage really turns out here also; the man is the epitome of range and he absolutely nails this performance. Wow, great great stuff and much to muse on, do not skip this.

Although it’s very unlike he’ll be snubbed Nicky Cage deserves an Oscar nomination for his brilliant performance in this excellent film.

This is a quite solemn film that feels like it's made with love and care. Incredibly, Nicholas Cage finds his stride! Is this his 'L'avventura'?
I like the script and the pace of the film. I loved the scene where Cage walked in darkness to Mozart's 'Lacrimosa'.
There are several good things about this film but not much to say about them, not by me. This one is a keeper. I already look forward to seeing it again.

I can't quite put my finger on the reason I liked this movie, but like it I did.

This is certainly one of Cage's better performances. The story is different, yet familiar. Think John Wick without all the action and killing. And somehow it is a really good watch.

How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!

This movie isn't for everyone. It's an art house indie movie. Very minimalistic. John Wick meets First Cow with a touch of Nomadland, lol. I liked it.
