Let's be realistic.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
