There are such a lot of methods this movie might have gone improper—the jokes might have fallen flat, it might have too smug and meta for its good or it might have been a horrid, annoying ego journey. Nevertheless, all beating hearts for Nic Cage can rejoice, as none of that occurs. 

The movie, the place the Oscar-winning actor performs a fictionalised model of himself, sails alongside on an insufferable lightness of being. Work is drying up for Nick Cage (Cage), revered actor and film star of someday earlier than. His residence life will not be so good both along with his ex-wife, Olivia (Sharon Horgan) and 16-year-old daughter, Addy, (Lily Sheen) fed up along with his self-involvement.

And oh how lovely Dubrovnik, Croatia standing in for Mallorca is! Javi’s mansion full with Nick Cage shrine and his golden weapons from  Face/Off is pleasant.

The references are respectful and loving, not lazy and the enjoyment of understanding a reference is among the many perks of the film. Like remembering Pascal’s Javi might be a reference to his Javier Peña in  Narcos or that Demi Moore who performs Olivia, within the movie-within-the-movie was a part of the Austin Powers films, which is all meta James Bond. The movie strikes easily, fairly just like the proverbial silk material by means of the tiniest ring — the 100-odd minutes going by in breezy 60 seconds.
