good back-story, and good acting
I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.
All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
