Plan: none
Battle: generalized
Self-revelation: none

Advanced Elements
- perspective: only a device; no story point made
- outside forces: unclear
- limited knowledge; but characters' knowledge is never increased
- work as creation, creative character: partly but could have been much better
- excellent use of different worlds
- some suggestion of history of forces extended to the future, but there is no way shown for the characters to escape the negative cycle
- moves toward public solution but only in being chased by bosses
- key element for success: DeNiro's is the best character
- he is key to the plan, battle, and self revelation but is not used properly
- magnificent visual possibilities not used
