Nicolas Cage's career is a weird one. For every five over the top, bonkers performances he puts in, we get one very accomplished, restrained one. It looks like the time for a restrained Cage has come again with Joe, where the actor plays the title role, an ex-con whose efforts to redeem himself are threatened to be derailed when he takes an abused 15 year old boy (Tye Sheridan) under his wing. Coming from Pineapple Express and The Sitter director David Gordon Green, this is more in keeping with his earlier work like George Washington and All the Real Girls, and has already gained some good festival buzz, with a good chunk of the praise going to Cage. Check out the trailer below.
Released: 11th April (U.S.)/ 25th July (IRL/U.K.)
