I just finished watching Joe, David Gordon Green’s latest; Tye Sheridan co-stars with Nicolas Cage, and both are on fine form here. It’s a shame that Cage gets saddled with hero roles all too often; it’s when he gets to explore real emotional darkness that he really excels.

If you can stomach the violence, this was an excellent film, and part of what I hope is a trend with Green; films like this are something special, and films like The Sitter and Your Highness really aren’t.
