This move should not have work if not for Al Pacino's great performance and all the other actors. None of the characters feels fabricated they're all very convincing and well acted. The movie take place in one place basically and the runtime is two hour but at no point it ever felt boring. All the different characters clashing together creating this intense emotional roller coaster. And while it is intense it is also unintentionally funny.
