Heavily underrated, highly enjoyed it. I may go as far as using the word spectacular.
Pros: 1. Highly original plot, it all started with two kids starting a mini-fight, and escalated into a whole criminal empire.
2. Great acting from everyone here, felt very real.
3. The realism level is very high, despite a few minor plot holes, it is very realistic and it is certainly believable.
4. Cinematography is good in every way here, the audio, the soundtrack, the graphics, and the cuts.
5. Brilliant action scenes, though there are not many, they are very thrilling to watch.
6. Highly entertaining.
7. Excellent character development.
8. Wonderful ending, not cliche, actually very original, and good.
9. Perfect pacing/directing.
Cons: 1. There are a few obvious fillers in the movie, for example, the whole semi-romantic relationship think between Susan and Phil, that seemed pointless, and the birthday party, seemed quite useless as well.
2. The emotional scenes seem a bit forced.
In conclusion: Plot: 9.5/10, a really strong and solid plot. Not anything you see very often.
Acting: 9.3/10, wonderful acting.
Characters: 8.7/10, there are a few questions that are left, what happened with the bully afterwards, what happened with Susan and Phil?
Directing: 10/10, perfect pacing, 100%. Not too fast, not too slow.
Realism: 9.3/10, highly realistic, obviously this doesn't happen everyday, but it could happen, it is plausible.
Entertainment level: 9.8/10, no boring scenes here, the only reason it does not get a 10 is because not all entertaining scenes are a 10....but most are.
Emotional impact: 7.5/10, they feel a bit forced, but if you are sensitive to emotions in films, maybe it might affect you.
Cinematography: 10/10, perfection on every level, I have absolutely zero complaints.
Ending: 9.6/10, suspenseful, and original.
Final rating: 93%
