The Importance of Restraint in the Film

Catherine Keener is one of the best actresses of her generation, but she's just like fucking out there without a raft in the middle of the ocean. The subplot with Catherine Keener as his wife and holding the baby is some of the worst scenes in the last 25 years. Just cut all of it. It's amazing. I think Schumacher was like, so the dichotomy of dismissing girl who got in a porn and Nick Cage's young baby daughter who still has her whole life out of her. And it's just terrible. But it's one of the reasons I love the movie. He did an amazing job.
