What a year of movies so far. And it’s still only April. This was so much fun. Nic Cage is a national treasure😉 and he embodies pretty much everything we love about him in this film. Pedro Pascal and Cage have a natural on screen chemistry that works really well, especially in the comedic moments. Haddish and Barinholtz were funny as well, though they kind of just disappear by the end of the film. Obviously, it goes without saying that if you’re a big Cage fan, then this is a must see. Fun, funny with loads of references to his previous works.
