THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT

Nicolas Cage plays himself in this action-comedy celebrating…himself

I love Nick Cage and I adore this movie, which at times feels like nothing more than a gushing love letter to the actor, but the script has enough heart to stand on its own even if the 10,000 references go over your head. This is a wild ride, and the chemistry between Cage and Pedro Pascal (the mysterious millionaire who lures Nick into a world of crime) is off the charts.

Made for film nerds by film nerds, TUWOMT is a triumph and a delight. The sheer joy that everyone had making this movie really shines through.
