The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
