...Extraordinarily quick, nay, incomprehensible cutting, imparting an abstract quality to the violence -- a terrible beauty, as the impressionable might put it. It also implies that beneath the director's wolfish exterior there lurks a sheepish artist as well as an existential philosopher eager to prove that morality is a sometime thing, determined by a trigger finger's itch...

And Nieves thanked the team. The season may only be dawning, but this is a winner's refrain...
