H.I. McDonnough is the main character played by Nicolas Cage in the movie Raising Arizona. The film, directed by the Coen brothers, is a quirky comedy about a childless couple who decide to kidnap one of the quintuplets born to a wealthy Arizona family. Cage's performance as H.I.

Answer: Kiss Of Death

"Kiss Of Death" starred David Caruso and also featured Helen Hunt and Ving Rhames and Phillip Baker Hall. It was directed by Barbet Schroeder. "8MM" did not feature Tucci and Rappaport and Jackson. "8MM" co-starred Joaquin Phoenix and James Gandolfini. "It Could Happen To You" is a romantic comedy that starred Cage, Bridget Fonda and Rosie Perez. Tucci was in it but not Rappaport and Jackson. "Wild At Heart" featured neither Jackson, Cage, Tucci or Rappaport in any way. Tucci and Rappaport and Jackson as well as Cage and everyone else in "Kiss Of Death" do some of their best acting performances of their career. "Kiss Of Death" is an excellent movie in my opinion. "Kiss Of Death" is about a former car thief who helps to bring down an organized crime family.
