I mean I'm not pulling anything new out of it that hasn't been done before but there's a lot in there.

Subversion of expectations with a hooker being a good guy and Christian ninjas being the bad guys (among other things). Discussions about VFX and what's actually needed to sell a scene. Pacing (the whole movie moves at a decent clip without feeling rushed, but still takes a moment for slower scenes). Camerawork and lighting especially for the nighttime scenes. Budgets. The acting is decently solid.

Like really there's a lot that the movie gets right with like a $30k budget that big Hollywood movies fail at. It's cinema stripped to some of its essential parts and it's much better than it maybe has any right to be.

But then I'll talk about it with people who don't care about all that and just think a velociraptor fighting ninjas is fun and, well, they aren't wrong.
