Nicolas Cage’s Underseen Thriller ‘Pig’ Is a Streaming Hit

In 2021, Nicolas Cage took on a role that felt different from anything he’d done previously. Trailers showed him looking worn and aged, suggesting a character who had faced hardship. This was a noticeable change from his typical on-screen persona. When the film Pig was released, it showcased a brilliant performance from Cage, offering a subtle and complex portrayal that was a refreshing change of pace for the actor, and a level of dramatic depth he hadn’t displayed in a while.
