This film is the perfect antidote for Blue Monday.
It’s great to watch a famous Hollywood actor take himself not too seriously. It’s also fun to watch a bunch of people having a ball while making this film. The script is both hilarious and ridiculous at the same time. There’s only one actor who can get away with that…
This film is highly recommended by the Studium Generale film committee because: “You’ll be going on an adventure with NICOLAS F#CKIN’ CAGE in his 100th film role filled with easter eggs, meta jokes and tons of movie references that anyone can resonate with.”
Reviews:
“It’s original, funny, dramatic, and action-packed without the tonal whiplash one might expect from such an ambitious narrative.” Film Threat.
“The filmmakers craft a metanarrative that also explores the relationship between the actor and his on-screen persona through the lens of contemporary Hollywood filmmaking.” Robert Egbert.
“Nicolas Cage brilliantly embraces, mocks, and subverts his own legacy in an ingeniously demented action comedy that celebrates one of Hollywood’s most uniquely fascinating stars.” We Got This Covered.
“A free-wheeling ride through the best of an actor’s filmography.” Observer.
