Again this is a role that Cage plays amazingly. The film is dark and mysterious about snuff films but is well directed and builds the suspense well.
A must watch film!

This is a very dark shocking movie but it's brilliant to watch. This is Nicholas Cage's best movie, playing a peaceful family man till he do a dangerous risky job finding out about a young teenager girl get killed by underground bloody snuff movie.
Not a movie you watch with your family but best when watching it with a mate or maybe a girlfriend. Really good but very rough to follow.

Joel Schumacher became a star for me after his urban thriller masterpiece, Falling Down, and although this does not quite reach those heights, it comes mightily close. I couldn't care less frankly about all the critics who came down on it, they wouldn't know a decent film if it smacked them in the face, but 8MM was a truly powerful and thought provoking piece in its own right.
Exploring the dark side of the sex industry and with brilliant performances to match, it was moving, gripping and very sad most of the time. It was bound to be. Films like this do not have happy endings, but neither did Falling Down. Most impressive for me was Nick Cage breaking down in tears at the end after the case is over when seeing his baby daughter in the crib. No macho got em and next case here, he had been to hell and back and you felt it. Also a special mention for Amy Norton, who played the murdered girls' mother, I remembered her too. Most impressive.
