The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
