There\u2019s plenty of grit and action, but the film doesn\u2019t forget to dig into the characters\u2019 emotions. Things kick off with a bang and rarely slow down, so it\u2019s easy to lose track of time and just binge the whole thing in one go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Affleck shows up with his usual intensity\u2014he\u2019s sharp and focused.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p> Damon matches him, bringing some real depth and a bit of an edge to the mix.
