Intense and gripping

Rating: 8/10 (11 January 2020)

What a wonderfully crafted film! It was intense and engaging the whole time, with moments of fast paced action sprinkled throughout which really got the heart racing.
Despite knowing very little about the two main characters, their realistic acting makes you care and worry for them. The one shot technique keeps you beside them and makes you feel like you're there with them.
However my only gripe with the film is that it does slow down a bit too much once or twice. Thankfully this barely took away from the experience.
Although it doesn't quite reach the heights of saving private Ryan or hacksaw ridge (for me at least), it is a groundbreaking achievement in cinema and an amazing ride! Definitely go watch it.
