Don't listen to the negative reviews
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
