I enjoyed the hell out of it, but it doesn't bear much deep thinking. It's a Chris McQuarrie so it has every reason not to suck... and it's two characters constantly locked in life-and-death peril in an organic way so injecting even a little bit of humanity into the situation makes them incredibly relatable. It's the same thing that makes Starship Troopers work.
