1. The INSANE Third Act

While it's true that aspects of its story could've taken the playful premise even further, it's still tough to deny that this movie's third act gets pretty damn crazy.

No spoilers here, but there's a turning point at which Gormican's film disappears down a new meta rabbit-hole that helps it sustain its momentum all the way to the finish.

While it would've been easy for act three to lean back entirely on action flick conventions, there's a constant desire here to toy with formula and upend expectations in some truly unhinged ways.

By the time it's all said and done, Cage fans are sure to be left very happy with the deranged manner in which his zany adventure wraps up.
