"Dream scenario" looked interesting, and it is. For 80 percent of the movie i was thinking it was actually amazing. But unfortunately that last 20 minutes or so sucks alot out of the movie.

Its such a weird premise and Nicolas Cage is on top form. Genuinely giving one of his best performances in years. As he looks borderline unrecognisable. Its such a funny movie, and has alot of arty moments going on without being full of itself. Managing to be a hilarious satire (especially one laugh out loud scene) that also gets serious when it needs too. Infact it almost gets into horror territory, and its a shame it didn't keep going with that. Or with its humour.

Instead it all takes a sharp left turn towards the end. Which doesn't totally ruin the film. But it was so close to being a 10 out of 10 movie. Its a shame it took one or maybe even two gambles too many by the very end. Still well worth a watch though.
