Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
