People were singing the praises of the movie since it came out. I wanted to see what the fuss was about. I don't get it. Did we see the same movie?
This is fictionalized version of Nick Cage who is caught up with a crazed super fan, Javi (Pascal). Two agents, Vivan and Martin (Haddish, Barinholtz) recruit Nick Cage to help them, because they think that Javi is a dangerous arms dealer that might have kidnapped a president's daughter.
I went into this movie blind. I was surprised that this movie was supposed to be a comedy. I do not laugh once at this movie. I was bored. I was drifting off to sleep watching it. I did not care to pay attention to the movie.
Am I missing something? This movie irritated me. Was it Nicolas Cage and his Nick Cage-isms? Probably. Was it the being a secret agent plot that was okay? Maybe. The movie did not feel authentic to me.
The only saving grace with the movie was a couple of scenes with Nick Cage and Javi vibing.
Rating: 5/10
