“Pig” (*1/2 out of four) was an ultra-weird melodrama about a haggard recluse (Nicholas Cage) who lives in the Oregon wilderness who has to return to his former life and venture back out into the real world when his beloved pig is kidnapped. A return of sorts for Cage to his eccentric independent acting roles of the ’80’s (“Vampire’s Kiss”, “Peggy Sue Got Married”, etc.) but otherwise this is pretty pointless and banal. Patrick Scola’s moody cinematography is a definite plus but filmgoers would best stay at home and eat a pound of bacon instead.
