The video game adaptation is neither "good" nor "great," but it does entertain.
It’s neither smart nor exciting; it’s just boring.
In its impeccable verisimilitude and constant intensity, it’s an awesome piece of work.
It’s serious, but can’t be taken seriously, and it’s dumb but never fun.
Building a strong narrative clearly took a backseat to inventing fun ways to take advantage of the hero’s rare medical condition.
Not all tales of rescue and defying impossible odds are cinematic unto themselves.
