There are some actors who are like the white rice of film. Then there are tried and true spices like garlic and you can never have too much garlic. The same could be said of one Nicolas Cage and we’ve got a dollar store can full in Willy’s Wonderland[2021].
Cage is the nameless protagonist who says nothing. A bold choice which leaves Cage to facially act his way through. He’s a stranger who has a mishap and the local mechanic offers to fix his car for a price. Stay the night in an ersatz pizza and animatronic family restaurant. When the FNAF critters come to life, Cage beats them to death.
