8 MM

Earlier this day, I decided to watch the movie ‘8MM’ (1999) again. The movie (directed by Joel Schumacher) stars Nicholas Cage and a whole set of other known actors, but the DVD credits fail to mention actress Amy Morton (who appears to be member of the famous Steppenwolf Theatre Company. Other famous actors that are members of that same company. Plus: the blog!), who plays the mother of the missing kid. Her acting actually makes the movie more credible than Cage’s ‘tame’ performance, in a movie that starts dark but ends up to be a plain ‘we killed the bad guys’ type of movie.
