What begins as a feel-good-human-interest story turns into a mystery, then a tragedy, and ultimately an outrage.

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.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
