Take your doughnut cushion with you. The first two hours can really drag. The last 30 minutes or so really picked up the tempo with excellent action editing between the different time layers as all our protagonists began to come to their life's climax.

The production is over the top excellent but values and art direction aren't everything. Might be better to wait for cable.
