We enjoyed Nicolas playing himself, an actor trying to keep working but he let his over-the-top persona gets in the way as well as his ego. The Bro-mance between Cage and Pedro Pascal was well perform. There were comedic moments without saying too much. It was funny especially if you've seen Cage's classic movies, like 'The Rock', 'Con-Air', 'Face-Off'. We watched it with our teenage son and he loved it as well (even though he didn't see Cage's movies). There are also tender moments as well as actions, spy stuff, car chase...definitely worth seeing it in the theater.
