Dream Scenario

There is such a bizarre whirlwind of ideas and emotions that this movie exudes while still succeeding as a cohesive film. What makes the film succeed is Cage, who gives a phenomenal performance. Everyone knows him for his over the top acting at times, but here he shows restraint, even in scenes where his character is exuding anger.  The big highlight is the cringe enduring scene thats halfway through the film, one of the most effective scenes of the past few years hands down.
