Reviews
Wonderful character development!
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
