The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

There wasn’t anything about another Nicolas Cage vehicle that would have interested me, but I kept hearing good things about this movie.  The premise of a has-been actor (which hits really close to home for Nic) cashing in on his celebrity in a story that turns into an international crime caper was a surprisingly fun ride.  I ended up enjoying this way more than I expected and actually really like Nic in the film.  No deep hidden messages here, but a lot of fun.
