They specifically went after a segment (kids below their teen years) with their advertising. This was a <i>hard</i> <b>R</b> movie.<br /><br />I'm glad to see someone calling out Nic Cage's acting in this. Chloe Moretz is getting a lot of acclaim (and gasps) for this--rightly. But, Cage did everything the role demanded and pulled the audience in. I'd also like to mention the Brit Mark Strong. He's really coming into his own ever since his supporting double in '08 with <i>RocknRolla</i> and <i>Body of Lies</i>. He's also in this year's <i>Robin Hood</i>.<br /><br />Thanks for this.le0pard13https://www.blogger.com/profile/09421175808461787862noreply@blogger.com
