Pacing Verdict
The screenplay maintains strong narrative momentum, with Act 1 efficiently establishing the world and inciting incident, Act 2 building the fugitive dynamic with energetic chase sequences and rapid-fire dialogue, and Act 3 delivering a well-paced emotional climax. The only minor rhythm issues occur in Act 4, where the resolution and epilogue feel slightly rushed compared to the detailed buildup, and a few transitional scenes (like the cereal commercial) momentarily stall forward drive. Overall, the balance of tension and release is handled skillfully, with the screenplay breathing effectively during quieter character moments without losing its propulsive energy.
