Pacing Verdict
The screenplay maintains strong narrative momentum and a propulsive forward drive, particularly through its high-stakes central mission and well-integrated flashbacks, which prevent the story from stalling. However, the pacing is slightly inconsistent; the extended flashback sequences for Susan (Scenes 27-42) and Ingrid (Scenes 48-70), while thematically rich, create noticeable decelerations in the main timeline's urgency. The dialogue is generally sharp and the scene-to-scene flow is energetic, but these substantial backstory dives, though valuable for character, disrupt the relentless tension the core plot establishes.
