Editor Mark Day shaped the rhythm. On an edit-heavy film, the editor does more to control your pulse than the director.

Pretty predictable and not entirely original, but a positive viewing experience was had. Not a lover, but I'm into enough to jump back on board if there is ever a follow-up. Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go.
