Cara a cara es puro John Woo, palomas incluidas. Obra maestra del cine de acción
Pig es una maravilla, nadie se esperaba a Cage tan contenido
Adaptation es de lo más raro y genial que ha hecho. Dos Cages por el precio de uno
Ni Con Air ni La Roca? Pues vaya lista, para mí son lo mejor de Cage
es una lista de las mejores, no de las más divertidas. La Roca mola pero Leaving Las Vegas está a otro nivel
ya pero en la tele las vemos mil veces y Leaving Las Vegas una vez y gracias
Mandy tan arriba??? la vi y no entendí nada jajaja
