This movie has a puzzle structural plot development surrounding a homicide case, with a screenwriting technic not often use in movies with same subject matter, giving it a special viewing experience. Due to how the camera works and tells the story of a plot that gives you a sense of urgency and in a serious reality. The movie sure was a spectacle to watch due to how the story progressed and was filmed and kept his phase well balanced and to the point continuesly giving this movie is two hours of run.
