![]() Holy cow did he nail this role for me, and I might have one of my favorites in how he play Renfield. There is a little more mixing to perfect it, but I really enjoyed it. He's having fun in the movie, and it shows, and that energy makes him more humorous at much of the film, but yet a bit of a threat at the same time. Cage is also more of the comedy side, his theatrical antics are so good, and though again over the top and silly, it meshes well with the menacing nature. ![]() There is a sweet side as well, but it's minimal compared to the others. She runs her mouth, has an attitude that is "strong" and she curses well to make catchphrases stick. Awkwafina is for the most part goofy, and she does this well with her angry manner she often portrays. ![]() Again, the movie is not an Oscar movie, but it has great performances given the feel of the movie, and the surprising feel of the movie if I'm being honest. It's all this odd dynamic that mixes all the genres together to a degree that is just very engaging, stupid, and yet fun to watch. Awkwafina has a great dynamic of both silly and serious with her assigned partners, Hoult's engagement has so much depth that he really just meshes with so many of the people, and Cage might be a one direction, but again works with the characters. ![]() This movie is mainly about three characters, and though there are plenty of secondary characters, the chemistry really works for me. This actually works very well for much of the movie and adds some character to the movie that is already loaded with character to start, and I liked it. Certainly more depth could have been given, but the pacing should appease the attention spans of most and works with the comedic edge of the movie. It's fast, but yet contains a lot of merit in the way that it presents the story. The dynamic style really works, but add the slapstick humor and over the top action stunts and it only further makes this movie a joy to watch. It all works for much of the movie and the acting helps add the emphasis and bring the right punch to help make the line the best. ![]() The dialog is super well done to be funny, so many techniques to bring laughs like: catch phrases, good use of curse words, banter, babbling, and sounding like an idiot. A comedy needs laughs and this movie delivers on so many levels that I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. ![]()
