Dreadfully Boring
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
