Let me start by saying the new Nick Cage being Nick Cage film in a quirky CIA type adventure in Spain is a fun ride. Lots of very clever references to Cage's movies thru the years and overall the script is brilliant, possibly even nomination worthy. I didn't enjoy it as much given all the recent hype but I think more important than that this is a good film that will be remembered as the official rubber stamp that ole Nicolas is back on the map, and to stay. The hole that would have buried many others he dug himself out of and let's not forget there were at least a few gems in there like Joe, Pig and Mandy.
Points straight across the board for everything but the script again is amazing. This would make an awesome novelization, watch out QT. Thumbs up! 3.5 stars/5
