Knowing is one of the greatest and most surprising films of the year! Nicholas Cage's performance is surprisingly good; he fits the role as a teacher, he's believable as a father, and he soon sends out emotion and anger as the film progresses. On top of that, the plot is very interesting and well-executed; every other scene, there's a twist that comes about, I never see it coming, and it all builds up to an absolutely beautiful ending! The disaster scenes were thrilling; just knowing how much Cage's character has to go through is something I can connect to. The film overall is intelligent, dramatic, and surprisingly thrilling. I saw the trailer expecting the film to be incredibly boring, but they managed to take the "boring" part out of that and make it an incredible experience!
