The dialogues are written in a day-to-day language as we speak, this is the core essence of the movie.  

The direction is also top-notch.  The scene in which the two friends are sitting and a very high crane and the crane moves is just awesome, excellent VFX. This shows he knows how to get the best out of his team.
