🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Spectacle-driven filmmaking that isn't ashamed of being spectacular. Every scene is charged and pushed to its boiling point. Authorial voice is minimal, but isn't needed — energy does the work.

The action sequences are staged with an understanding of physics and space — not CGI soup, but readable collisions. This is exactly what the poster promises. Weak spots exist but don't kill the fun.

Works for genre fans and those who want to switch off. Drama and psychology lovers — wrong address.

Director: José Padilha
