Review of The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022) by Kirkender — 12 Jun 2022
A meta action-comedy about Nic Cage! What could go wrong? In theory this could be extraordinary, good or bad, but it rides right down the middle of exactly what your expectations are. It's completely watchable, and the acting is great, but the comedy is lazy and predictable.
Pedro Pascal is very fun, and easily is the best part of the whole thing. I really enjoyed the more serious first half, but when it locked into the standard action movie second half I completely checked out.
I tend to prefer Nic Cage's more serious roles these days, like Pig, because he is legitimately a great actor. I kept thinking that I'd rather be re-watching Hot Fuzz.
