The second time I watched the movie was far different than the first one. I preserved on my memories a good movie with a great story indeed: a man who wants to kill himself by drinking, and a prostitute... they know each other by chance, and finally they need each other keeping a pact of not disturbing the lifestyle of the peer.Thus, she keeps working and he keeps drinking like hell. But they need each other: she needs somebody to talk with and he likes her. Not jus for sex (actually they don't do that much) but for respecting him without pressing to give drinking up.
The second time I watched the movie I was impressed for the same script but I realize how slow the movie is: too focused on the development of the drinking disease of the main character, sometimes a bit too much on the meaning of pointing out all details of Nicolas Cage character.
I recommend the movie if you wanna fall asleep. Why not? At least, watch it once.
