There is no longer any reason to continue making art. Perfection has been achieved. Best thing since Paddington 2. In all seriousness, this reminded me a bit of Pig in that Cage isn't remotely as over the top as you'd expect. He has a couple scenes where he leans full into the exaggerated performance we are there to see, but the movie caries itself on a clever, self-aware script that is genuinely fun and with good character arcs. It's not incredibly deep, but I do suspect a lot of this fictional Cage mirrors the experience that the real Cage has lived. That shows, and it was a thrill to watch.

If you are a fan of Nicholas Cage, this movie is a good performance by him, with an honest plot and good acting overall. If you, like me, do not care about the star protagonist, it quickly becomes a lackluster experience.

It was stupid and it was ridiculous but my god was it enjoyable. I’d say this is my third favourite film, pushing _Paddington_ 2 into fourth.

This really started out great, an awesome parody of Nick Cage by Nick Cage, but it dragged on and instead of a funny plot about Nick Cage it became a super stupid pseudo action flick.
