Not at all what I expected based on the chatter around this movie. I didn’t pay attention to the trailers so I really thought this was gonna be another multiverse kind of thing but within a world of Nic Cage movies. It’s not that but rather an okay action-comedy bordering absurdism. Doesn’t quite stick the landing but I admire the effort to highlight Cage and his career wrapped in this action/adventure package. There are some very fun / LOL moments.
The biggest challenge for this movie and where it falters is that Nic Cage is Nic Cage in this world yet all these other actors are playing characters. And we already know that’s not his RL wife or daughter so it all feels like a long form bit. Which I guess it is but it’s hard to buy one aspect when everything surrounding it is a farce.
