Pros: production design, score quality
Cons: realism, originality
The opening setup and some escalating gags move briskly, but the middle often loses momentum. Several viewers describe long generic stretches or a second act that hits the brakes.
Pros: chemistry between characters, visual style
Cons: language level, age appropriateness

Pros: plot originality, suspense
Cons: realism, critic appeal
