Never let it be said that Cage doesn't still have it in him to give a calm and quiet performance and still deliver. Wolff is shaping up to be impressive as well. It's hard to say much about this movie without giving a lot away because it's very rooted in emotion and relationships, so most big plot points won't seem like such unless you're already on the ride. Without giving much away, the scene about the pub is one of…

Midnight Cowboy 1969
Voight is so young in this. 75 minutes in I looked up the cast list to see who played Joe, and it was 83 minutes before I believed it was him. He and Hoffman both bring their A game whether I recognized him or not.
The movie itself showcases the gritty New York that they don’t show anymore. While the story focuses on Joe and Rizzo, the city itself is the third lead character. I’ve seen movies that showed these…
