  • In this movie there is a wonderful amount of cinematography. There are some setting that i wasn't sure if it was fake or not making the camera good quality and a good movie.
  • The set design was realistic and helped tell the story. The movie seemed to flow together okay but it did have a few choppy segments. Over all the movie was generally good and action packed. I personally watched the movie more than twice and love it. I would rate this movie a 9.5 out of 10 because the movie was good but choppy at times.
