Pacing Verdict
The screenplay maintains a consistently taut and deliberate pace, expertly building dread through methodical scene work and a focus on Amy's physical and emotional strain. The dialogue is lean and purposeful, and the narrative momentum never flags, with the tension escalating logically from personal crisis to criminal investigation. The only minor deduction comes from a slight deceleration in the middle act as the detectives' procedural hurdles are established, but the rhythm quickly tightens again for a gripping final act.
