Less than 100 minutes in length.


And yet it delivers on every level. This type of blockbuster is gone now. What's the last GOOD one that was barely longer than 90 minutes?

Absolutely. The credits start rolling at 1:30.55.

Nice and short with no unnecessary padding. A fun and extremely entertaining film.

I think it takes a confident filmmaker to pair a film down to its essence, there are a lot of 2hr plus films that would be better at the 90 minute mark. There's still been a few since; Taken, Source Code, A Quiet Place

I like this film but even the first 2 Christopher Reeve Superman movies were both 2 hours long. So it certainly didn't start recently for a blockbuster movie to be 2 hours or a little more. Heck, Last Action Hero which came out in 1993 is a little over 2 hours.

Shaun of the Dead, My favorite zombie film of all time is another one.

It does so much in such a short amount of time.
