Review Time: this film is good.

Fundamental elements: there are voice-over elements, words on screen, background music, cultural elements, slow-motion effects, no subtitles when another language is being used, time jumps and place jumps.

Back stories/Storyline: the back stories come to the audience via dialogue exchanges and the storyline is straightforward.

Action sequences/Artistic visions: there are weapons being used, combat, helicopters and chasing, here are two elements for you to look out for; an ambulance gets used and there is a small sequence of combat on a train. Moving on to the artistic visions; there is singing, a jigsaw puzzle which I am guessing here is a country or maybe it is a state of the United States of America but then again it looks too big to be a state, but what I can tell you is this; you see it on a table with one of our lead characters/performers putting it together and it is all blue, then we have this clown music box [you will have to pay attention to see this,] because it is a small piece, but it is interesting and good.

Comedy level: there are two elements relating to The Simpsons and the wine cellar scene where we have these two characters/performers having this serious dialogue exchange there are comedy elements here, but they are not out and out comedy elements, you will understand when you come to watch this film, in a nutshell it involves one character/performer telling another character/performer not to do something and at the end of the scene something happens as well.

Character developments/Performers: now on the whole first [minus two characters/performers,] these character developments and performances are good, they all bring something to the table, yes there is chemistry or friction [depending where you are; is depending what you get.]

But now on to our two main characters/performers; without giving too much away on one hand we have one character/performer that has some mental health issues from a previous situation to begin with but these stop [I can't tell you too much more than that, because it is a part of the film,] but he is a hard-nosed individual and on the other hand we have this boy that has a disability [likewise this is in the film as well,] but over time they have a positive effect on one another as this hard-nosed individual learns how to take care of this boy and to reach him as well and this  boy gets more comfortable with this hard-nosed individual, there is very good chemistry in this partnership.

This film receives: 6/10, after everything is said and done this mark is a fair conclusion.
