While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

The movie is surprisingly subdued in its pacing, its characterizations, and its go-for-broke sensibilities.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
