It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
