Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
