Instant Favorite.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
