It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
