Pacing Verdict
The screenplay maintains exceptional narrative momentum and scene-to-scene flow within its four-act structure, with each act building purposefully on the last. The dialogue rhythm is sharp and efficient, balancing rapid exchanges (Nick and Judy's banter) with deliberate emotional beats (Nick's backstory). The only minor rhythm issues are a slight deceleration in the early Act 4 farm sequence, but it quickly recovers for a propulsive and satisfying climax and resolution.
