sda1225 I guess you haven't seen that movie then, and I bet you base your opinion solely on his performances in "The Wicker Man" and "Ghost Rider". If you want to evaluate an actor's abilities, you should look at the actor's whole career.
In "Leaving Las Vegas", there were several moments that showed that he can actually act; the scene where he desperately crawled to the refrigerator to get more booze, the scene where he can hardly breathe while sleeping, the scene where he tries to sign a paycheck but his body shakes too much, and the scene where he and Elisabeth Shue are lying on the couch together. There were several parts where he was a happy and funny man, where he was a depressed man, and where he started to suffer, and neither his actions nor line delivery were over-the-top.
And if you want to see more good movies with him, you should watch "Adaptation", "Moonstruck", "Face/Off", and "Matchstick Men"

sda1225 I'm not a fan, I'm just trying to say that he has enough good performances to prove that he can act if he wants. Not all actors are so consistent. Just look at actors like John Travolta, Kevin Costner, Al Pacino, and Robert de Niro: there used to be a time where they had amazing performances, but now I don't know what happened to them (Cage is not as talented as the latter two, but still). Even the legendary actor Marlon Brando seemed to be a joke in the 60's and 90's, even though he had iconic performances in the 50's and 70's
And "Face/Off" was actually very well-received, and he was nominated for a Saturn Award, two MTV Awards, a Jupiter Award, and a Blockbusters Entertainment Award.
I also forgot to mention "Raising in Arizona", "Honeymoon in Vegas", and the recent "Joe"
