GREAT SCENE: Mid-Point Scene in which the technology is explained to Doug and he convinces team to send the note back.
ODD SCENE: Doug's scene in Act II, Part 2 when he is deposing the terrorist. Dialogue kinda goes all over the place to get to the end that the writer wanted.
ODD SCENE: Claire's funeral at the begining of Act II, Part 1. Is it needed? What's up with the Limo Drivers?
TIMING ANALYSIS: Act III is a bit long 40+ minutes. Otherwise, the movie is timed well.
