At each turn, the money's right there on screen, yet what's most striking is how these resources have been marshalled - to enhance, rather than clutter up, the narrative throughline.

Rated: 4/5

You will not find many films more entertaining than this one, as you will be impressed, laugh, and spend 158 minutes without even realizing it.
