3. The Strong Supporting Cast

Lionsgate

As much as this film belongs to Cage and Pascal, it'd be remiss not to discuss the remarkable supporting cast.

First off, the great Sharon Horgan is a regular riot as Cage's frequently pissed off wife Olivia, while Lily Sheen - daughter of Kate Beckinsale and Michael Sheen - gives a solid turn as Cage's daughter Addy, evidently doing her real-life parents proud.

Elsewhere Tiffany Haddish and Ike Barinholtz are clearly having a blast as the CIA agents working with Cage, while Neil Patrick Harris is a brief-but-entertaining highlight as Cage's full-of-s**t agent Richard.

There are also a couple of cameos that shouldn't be spoiled and yet will give casual viewers and film-savvy audiences alike some hearty chuckles.
