There's a lot of good things about the movie, which saves it from being a cliche due to the fact that there were several movies in the past that also used the same platform. For one, the cinematography is stunning. That the performances are sharp is another thing. Then, the script, though gritty, is fluid, with a jaw-dropping twist, which has been translated into screen aided by competent direction.
I can't say the movie is enjoyable because of its theme. But, it really is accomplished an accomplished movie.
