Posljednji film Nicholasa Cagea Pig dobio je pohvale američkih kritičara, ali i oduševio gledatelje.
Pig je debitantski film režisera Michaela Sarnskog. Glavni lik u filmu je Feld (Nicholas Cage), osamljeni muškarac koji živi bez vode i struje usred oregonske šume. Dane provodi skupljajući tartufe sa svojom svinjom koja mu je najbolji prijatelj. Kad mu konkurentski tartufari otmu svinju, Feld prisili Amira (Alex Wold) da ga odvede u Portland da pronađu otetu životinju.
Oh man, I just watched Pig with Nicholas cage and that brought more out of me than I thought it would, I knew I'd get emotional but god damn, that's a Damn fine film. I definitely recommend it however it's going in the never want to watch again with grave of the fire flies.

Na tom se putovanju Feld susreće s ljudima iz svoje prošlosti, a Amir shvata da je njegov saputnik jednom davnom bio poznati kuhar.
Nicholas Cage’s PIG: John Wick but instead of hitmen it’s the culinary world, and instead of a puppy it’s a pig. That’s quite a brash comparison cause there’s a lot more at play here, so much depth and poignancy in the way it deals with grief. Beautiful really. pic.twitter.com/6PuA6d3VBS

Pig was surprisingly one of my favorite films of 2021, not just because it’s filmed in Portland. It’s a compelling story about love, facing the past, and overcoming grief. Nicholas Cage was perfectly cast and IMO deserves Oscar consideration. It will be on Hulu later this month. pic.twitter.com/89eZciY90C

Iako se film u američkim kinima počeo prikazivati ranije ove godine, tek je veći interes publike dobio nakon izlaska na Apple TV+ platformi prije nekoliko dana.
Komentari na društvenim mrežama su uglavnom pozitivni, a neki ga uspoređuju s Johnom Wickom, samo što osim ubice i psa, gledatelji prate kuhara koji pokušava vratiti svinju. Uz pohvalu samog filma, gledatelji su istaknuli da je gluma Nicholasa Cagea odlična, a mnogi su primijetili da glumac u filmu izgleda gotovo neprepoznatljivo.
