Lead Actors: Nicolas Cage, Alex Wolff, and Adam Arkin
Director: Michael Sarnoski
Release Year: 2021
Runtime: 90 minutes
A unique film that hits points of emotional resonance about love and loss, but ultimately misses the mark for me. There wasn't enough to keep me engaged with the slower-moving plot, despite solid performances from Cage and Arkin. One can easily understand the impetus of Cage's actions borne of love for his pet, and the lack of violence to drive the plot forward is a compelling directoral decision. Ultimately, the down-the-pipe story and lack on meaningful plot events kept me from liking this movie more. Worth your time though, as there are many who love this film, and to each their own.
