Nicolas Cage is a good actor and his movies have a good plot, I liked the story and plot of Minute Man alot.
(forgot the title) the one where this guy is hired to create a machine that sees into the future and he sets clues for himself to figure out the future after his brain gets reset and he losses 3 years of memory, that one is a good movie.
This sounds interesting.. But are you are you thinking of Next? I mean the plot doesn't fit that great, but some aspects of it are kinda like Next, and if you can't remember the title I have to question how well you actually remember the movie..
Basically, I'm asking are you sure that's part of the story.. That sounds like something I might wanna try to find and watch..
I have a special affinity for time travel or looking into the future.. All the paradoxes get my mind going, I love trying to work through them in my head and understand them or 'how that could happen'..
Probably one of the reasons I love Voyager so much..
