brilliant actors, brilliant editing

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
