Joe (2013)
Directed by David
Gordon Green this film based on the novel of the same name stars
Nicolas Cage, Tye Sheridan and Adriene Mishler. In rural America a
man trying his best not to get into trouble again takes a teenage boy
under his wing.
Taking the classic
Shane (1953) this is another tragedy of a man trying to escape his
nature but pulled back by the obligations to those around him. I
enjoyed the film and while it's not the best version I have seen of
this story it's well up there. Nicolas Cage gives one of his best
recent performances which makes the film worth seeing for that alone.
4/5
