Interesting film with a great film score yet slow and clumsy at some parts

Rating: 7/10 (7 December 2019)

15 minutes before finishing the film I opened the app to give 5 stars to this movie, but the ending saved it for me.
The movie has a strong appeal specially at the beginning, giving a psicologycal output of the characters and their social background. It creates the field to understand their crimes beyond the classic mafia film and it feels like a nice twist. Yet, suddenly the movie departs dramatically from this point onwards with a slow rhythm, and dialogues began to feel steril and the characters void. It feels as if it's a fantasy film rather than a crime drama. At the end, where it seems as if the senator suicided jumping on a trash trunk... I yelled! Its fak, he is having a bad trip! He is still in the opium parlour and then boom there he was, another day with a big smile after the trip with that annoying phone ringing for 5 minutes. I clearly could be mistaken, it is a good film, but the people saying that is a masterpiece are deluded. Probably nostalgia is playing a huge role here because giving 10 stars to this movie has no grounds.
