Kevin Spacey has made us question a lot of things in life. From making unrequited underage female fantasies and mid life crisis sexy in American Beauty to reaffirming the sexiness of politics, murder and fourth wall breaking in House of Cards he is the enigma that keeps on giving.
Don’t forget that stint in the Horrible Bosses franchise. Alas here we are, once again re-evaluating our attraction to the Oscar winning actor and checking our diary to see when would be best to hate watch his latest blockbuster Nine Lives.
“Tom Brand (Kevin Spacey) is a daredevil billionaire at the top of his game. His eponymous company FireBrand is nearing completion on its greatest achievement to date – the tallest skyscraper in the northern hemisphere. But Tom’s workaholic lifestyle has disconnected him from his family, particularly his beautiful wife Lara (Jennifer Garner) and his adoring daughter Rebecca (Malina Weissman). Rebecca’s 11th birthday is here, and she wants the gift she wants every year, a cat. Tom hates cats, but he is without a gift and time is running out. His GPS directs him to a mystical pet store brimming with odd and exotic cats- where the store’s eccentric owner- Felix Perkins (Christopher Walken), presents him with a majestic tomcat, named Mr. Fuzzypants. En route to his daughter’s party, Tom has a terrible accident. When he regains consciousness he discovers that somehow, he has become trapped inside the body of the cat. Adopted by his own family, he begins to experience what life is truly like…”
