This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
