Pacing Verdict
The screenplay demonstrates excellent pacing in its relentless, high-tension second and third acts, with the attack and extraction sequences (Scenes 39-110) delivering a sustained, visceral forward drive. However, the first act (Scenes 1-39) is deliberately slow and atmospheric, establishing character and dread, but its prolonged stillness, while intentional, creates a noticeable drag before the narrative catalyst. The rhythm is expertly managed within the confirmed structure—the slow burn pays off—but the imbalance between the extensive setup and the frantic second half prevents a higher score.
