Pig2021

🐖 Verdict: 🥇 MUST SEE  Holy mackerel. I had no expectations going in, and I couldn’t be more pleased coming out. Having not seen the trailer, I had assumed a much darker, more violent revenge thriller. *Pig*, however, destroyed my assumptions and overdelivered in a big way. So many cliches broken and subverted. The whole movie had me continually guessing where it was going, and I was never right. Others have said it much better than me (read benlanehodson and zoddman), but this story is a tragic tale of loss, regret, purpose, pain, and nobility. The acting was exceptional, the music was on point, the cinematography, editing, and pacing were flawless, and Nic Cage gave one of those performances that should make his uncle proud. Don’t be afraid of *Pig*. If you’re into drama and mystery, then you’ll be pleasantly surprised and unabashedly fulfilled with *Pig*.
