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.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
