Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible
There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
