I personally like this movie because of it's simplicity. No hoopla and it molds the shape of the making of a hero through the tutelage of a mentor. This brought back memories of writing school. Ah, great memories indeed.
Nicholas Cage has that aura in him that makes you want to watch his movies. I don't mean about his acting. One can argue that he is or isn't the greatest actor today. But, he does have the special grabbing trait that makes you want to come back and watch his movies anyway, regardless of what you think of him as an actor.
Critics gave this movie an average review in 2010, but I personally like the movie because it just somehow goes together smoothly to conclude the hero's journey. And, by doing that, it exceeds expectations. I am proud to call this as one of my most favorite movies of all time.
