The action comedy “Retirement Plan,†starring Nicolas Cage and premiering in theaters this Thursday, presents a formulaic plot regarding that subgenre in which the charisma of its star shines and rounds off an entertaining but It doesn’t provide anything new.
Cage’s seventh film released in 2023 arrives in local theaters with an acceptable proposal that in any case does not stand out among the best productions of the actor, who currently has a high demand for filming since he has enjoyed a resurgence in cinema cult and critical reviews six years ago, as was the case with “The Dream Man,” which debuted in theaters last week.
The story puts the Oscar winner for “Goodbye Las Vegas” in the role of Matt, a retired US government special operations agent who has been confined in the Cayman Islands and alcohol for 20 years following having to withdraw from their duties forcibly and early.
Despite looking aged and out of shape, Matt maintains the unrivaled killing prowess that made him a prominent super agent long ago, a James Bond, as defined by those who know him, a performance that once once more brings to prominence. action when his daughter and granddaughter are kidnapped by a prominent gangster network and he must save the day by taking out burly, younger thugs.
Directed and written by Tim Brown, the film has some worthwhile and humorous action scenes but feels like many other industrial and not very sophisticated action films.
Guy Ritchie was a great source of inspiration for this style of film.
Tim Brownen, director and screenwriter of “Retirement Plan”
El elenco que acompaña a Cage se completa con Ron Perlman, Ashley Greene, Jackie Earle Haley, Joel David Moore, Ernie Hudson, Grace Byers, Rick Fox y Lynn Whitfield.
“There is a scene at the beginning of the movie that is completely absurd, and I made sure it was completely absurd. And I’m grateful that Brown let me do it: I inexplicably start speaking French to get the attention of the bullies trying to take me down. He was acting like a complete fool! “Speaking French to the point where everyone thinks I’m crazy,” Cage said regarding his favorite scene from the shoot.
Regarding the director’s inspiration, Brown commented: “What inspired me to write the script is that I really love the action genre. And in particular I really like action comedy. It’s been a while since there was an original action movie that had comedic elements. Guy Ritchie was a great source of inspiration for this style of film.
