Pacing Verdict
The screenplay establishes a strong, deliberate pace with its atmospheric opening and escalating tensions, but the momentum becomes uneven in the middle acts. The dense, thematic dialogue and parallel plotlines (the election, the protests, the conspiracy theories) sometimes compete for focus, causing the central narrative drive to occasionally stall. However, the final act regains significant momentum with a propulsive sequence of violence, cover-up, and chase, delivering a coherent and impactful conclusion despite the earlier fluctuations in rhythm.
