Hollywood will ruin anything.

Edit: Andrew Niccol is back writing and directing so maybe we can get something decent, but his films have really... drifted over the years.

Man I wish he could write films like Lord of War and Gattaca again.

    Are they going to introduce a second brother who is also addicted to drugs and eventually is killed because of Cage's business in arms dealing? 🤔
