It’s become natural to expect Cage to go gonzo with his acting … but he doesn’t have that role in Pig. That distinction goes to David Knell as a pompous chef who shares the film’s best scene with Cage. Knell is one of those recognizable actors you might not know by name, even though he’s been around (Total Recall, Alf, the guy who said, “We’re not twins!” in Splash). He unravels before our eyes in a scene that is both unnerving and hilarious—while Cage remains even-keeled. Their conversation about restaurants is clearly meant as a parallel for Cage’s acting career, and it’s the best written portion of the movie.”
