TO Nicolas Cage There is no lack of self -irony, you see it very well in The talent of Mr. c. A film broadcast Tonight on Rai 2 at 21.20 and in which Cage – in the role of himself – is engaged in an attempt to rehabilitate its image. Not exactly a script gimmick: for several years the actor has in fact become the face of comedies and often low -quality action films and in which he reads over the lines, trying to give the best with questionable results.

The review of the film with Nicolas Cage
The talent of Mr. c And A stage for Cagewho is portrayed as a loving father and husband, albeit clumsy, great cinephile and eager to return to work with those great directors (such as David Lynch o Martin Scorsese) which are now a distant memory.
To get out of the stereotype that – in reality – sees him as a Serie B actor, he chooses one unexpected: a film that is very … stereotyped, an action comedy Buddy Movie, with easily recognizable standard dynamics. As “undercover agent” for the CIA, the protagonist is forced to join Javi in daring misadventures: the two find themselves catapulted into a purely cinematic dimension and consciously they refer to high models To bring them down.
The operation works: similar to the surface to many others, the comedy action hto an extra gear thanks to the bromance which is created between Cage and Pascal, the supporting axis of history. The two actors reveal a remarkable harmony and their duets are worth the vision. Above all, a scene – the one aboard the convertible – immediately became a viral meme. Interesting above all to see Pascal struggling with a comic role, very different from those for which it is known.
Nicolas Cage and Pedro Pascal paired pair in “The talent of Mr. C”.
At the end of the events, if the Cage character comes out winner, not the same can be said for the Cage actor. The film is certainly not a masterpiece and could reinforce, rather than undermining, the consolidated idea we have of him. But perhaps it was all wanted, a sidetrack, with the aim of reminding us because we love that madman of Nicolas Cage, Which always tries and who loves cinema as we love him, even when it is simple entertainment.
