The script credited to Warren Ellis favours clear movement and sharply defined dramatic turns. Dialogue carries information most naturally when it grows from disagreement or urgency. The language reflects 2010, yet the central concern with courage remains accessible. The script keeps returning to choices and consequences instead of allowing explanation to replace drama.
