Edgy suicidal self destruction in booze movie of a one way ticket to oblivion.

Do you think that Nicolas Cage is generally a not great/bad/terrible actor who plays in not great/bad/terrible films? We might agree with that.

However, Nicki was surprisingly good in cult film Leaving Las Vegas - playing the role of a suicidal alcoholic on the road to self destruction. And was awarded an Oscar for it.

Go on Nicki, play total losers it suits you much better.

Also starring Elizabeth Shue in her best role yet - sexy and beautiful as a nearly religiously forgiving figure.
