And, as it seems we haven't yet mentioned the previously most recent Nic Cage Comedy +.genre film....

In this modern monster tale of Dracula's loyal servant, Renfield, the tortured aide to history's most narcissistic boss is forced to procure his master's prey and do his every bidding, no matter how debased. But now, after centuries of servitude, Renfield is ready to see if there's a life outside the shadow of The Prince of Darkness. If only he can figure out how to end his codependency.

I think my experience was mixed. The cop/mafia plot felt a bit like a video game plot, and not in a good way. Nic Cage and the guy playing renfield gave great performances though, and yeah I really liked the abusive relationship dynamic.

Yeah same.

Nicholas Hoult played Renfield. He was in those X-Men new class movies. But he was really good in The Menu. I think he's going to be a stand out character actor.
