English A truly excellent installment. The color palette fits perfectly, but most importantly, the action scenes and the emotions intertwine incredibly smoothly and beautifully. By the end, you'll be holding your breath because the action is breathtaking - one against dozens - but you'll also have a lump in your throat when you realize that truth can be quite harsh sometimes.
