Nicolas Cage can play a bad guy, good guy, the boy next door or a crazed maniac, but no matter what role he plays it’s always good. When it comes to action films Nicolas has made some wise decisions, here are his top ten.
10. ‘Ghostrider’
Not exactly my cup of tea, far too grotesque of a comic book adaptation, but there were some cool fight scenes.
9. ‘Next’
Being able to see into the future, that’s one special skill. Preventing a terrorist attack, that’s a whole different deal.
8. ‘Windtalkers’
Not an action film per say, but the romance and epic qualities put this on the list.
7. ‘Gone in Sixty Seconds’
He’s fast, slick and knows how to really drive a car.
6. ‘Face Off ‘
There are two sides to everything, literally. Great showdown scene at the end and lots of fast chases and gun battles to enjoy.
5. ‘Snake Eyes’
What is really going on in this movie, It can be difficult to figure out with all the hold ups, kidnappings and gun fighting.
4. ‘Con Air‘
Flying planes, playing both sides and beating up criminals. There’s a lot going on here.
3. ‘National Treasure: Book of Secrets’
The treasure hunting adventure continues and this time there is even more at stake. They have to escape death and overcome another bad guy to find all the clues.
2. ‘The Rock’
Welcome to Alcatraz. Shootouts, escape plans and more.
