Pacing Verdict

The screenplay demonstrates strong pacing craft, effectively balancing the investigative procedural momentum with intimate character moments. The 5-act structure is well-served by the alternating rhythms of tense phone calls, quiet domestic scenes, and high-stakes confrontations, though Act 3's extensive setup of the investigation occasionally slows the forward drive. The final act builds to a powerful, earned climax, and the screenplay efficiently delivers information through dialogue and visual storytelling without feeling rushed.
