Audience Take

Nathan

The direction is excellent, with amazing up-close shots and zooms that genuinely add to the intense nature of the film. The first hour flew by with fantastic build-up and persona development. However, after this first act, the movie does slow down a bit, with a pretty substantial lull that lasted about 20 minutes in the middle of the film.
