The actor chews up the scenery, but never in a way that's overwhelming. Speaking of likable performers, Sonic the Hedgehog and Parks and Recreation's Ben Schwartz get to have a lot of fun playing against type as ineffectual gangster Teddy Lobo.
Hoult portrays the titular character, who has been strapped to Cage's Dracula for far, far too long. Awkwafina is much the same, further proving herself as one of the most likable performers in Hollywood today. As the title character, Nicholas Hoult is as sweet and endearing as can be. Nicolas Cage's return to theatrical features, Renfield, may not have done nearly as well at the box office as everyone involved wanted it to, but it's a bloodsucking good time nonetheless.
