Fast forward nine years, and he returns to find his son raised on stories of heroism. The practical effects aren’t groundbreaking, but they do create a certain atmosphere that fits the vibrant setting. Performances are pretty solid too, with some genuine moments that hit home. It’s not your usual fare, which is part of what makes it stand out in today's cinema landscape.
