- Dialogs: Quick, fun, slick. Some are showing age a bit while still sounding good.
- Characters: This is a character-driven story, it's all about them, their quirks, motivations and actions, but they're stereotyped. Few of them have any depths, but they are all very interesting and well portrayed.
- Acting: Very good.
- Visuals: Great attention to details.
