Discussion Summary

Although Nick Cage has come to be known for his over-the-top portrayals and eccentric characters, Pig is an understated journey through one man's grief. 

After years of living isolated in the woods with only his trusty eponymous pig to keep him company, save a weekly truffles-for-supplies visit from Amir (Alex Wolff), Robb is forced to confront the world and his past after a brazen kidnapping.

Corrections

1. Michael meant to say 3000 Miles to Memphis, not 3000 Miles to Vegas.
2. Dave meant to say Ghostrider, not Ghosthunter.
