But it's over-long by a good 30 mins, with an achingly slow start and far too much emphasis placed on establishing his motivation through flashbacks which seem to take forever. Enjoyed watching it but then walking away from the cinema we just found ourselves picking it apart, from hanging plot threads to missed opportunities. The hyper-mobile camera work also gave me a bit of a headache. patel definitely has some action chops though, will be good to see what comes next.
