WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Rob (Cage) is a truffle hunter who lives in near-total isolation within the Oregonian wilderness, with his only companion being his beloved foraging pig. However, when the pig is suddenly kidnapped, Rob is forced to revisit the past he left behind in Portland if he is to retrieve his friend from its takers…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Nicolas Cage goes on a warpath in the name of his pet pig in a film that is far more than just John Wick for those with a taste for pork, as it might also give us one of Cage’s most profound performances in a long while.
