Amos and Andrew is a great wacky hostage comedy starring two of my favourite actors. Cage is wild in this and if it was played by anyone else this film would have probably fell into a generic category. I thought this would just be okay but I absolutely loved it, had me laughing more than I thought I would. My favourite part has to be when Jackson speaks a monologue of black repression and racism then it cuts to cage pulling the most stupid face you’ll see.

They need to stop talking about race and start talking about sexuality 💫 because they are in love
Nicolas is adorable in this, a really likeable character and well played. He plays so many cons with a heart of gold
