Cage leads this tongue-in-cheek delight with gleeful conviction, as a washed-up fictionalised variant of himself, on the precipice of quitting acting. A golden opportunity arises – earn $1 million in exchange for attending the extravagant birthday celebrations of Pascal’s mysterious, eccentric fanboy Javi.
But when the CIA, led by the no-nonsense Vivian (Tiffany Haddish, The Card Counter) intervene, revealing that Javi is a dangerous kingpin, Cage is forced to go undercover – with action-packed results beffiting of his own filmography.
A cult-classic-in-waiting, packed with fan-pleasing Easter eggs from the absurd breadth of Cage’s career, this is a crowd-pleasing, rollicking ride in the company of one of cinema’s most inimtable stars.
