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.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
