This is better than I ever figured it would be. The subject matter has a lot of inherent absurdity, and this film seemed destined to lead to a lot of eye-rolling. Perhaps it’s Brad Pitt’s skill at forming a connection with the audience that leads the viewer to give the story more credence than critical thinking would normally allow. There’s also a shrewd decision made by the director and screenwriters, in that the action comes quick and rarely lets up; there’s no real time for questioning, and that piece of cagey film-making serves this work very well.
