A big over-appreciation

Rating: 8/10 (25 March 2017)

The lives of several characters with a different background intersect in four separate stories, told in an unique way. It's a type of movie you don't encounter often, judging by the cast that it has, the dialog it features and even the way it presents its action.
It's a movie which presents its plot in a very unusual way (separating it into 4 different but somehow related sequences), in a very explicit way, both dialogue and action, with some highly experienced and very expressive actors which simply shine, creating an one of a kind atmosphere which makes you feel like you're part of the action, keeping you entertained and even amused like myself throughout its whole length.
I acknowledge the quality of this movie, but, and this is a huge but, I simply do not understand the overall hype which surrounds it, the huge mass of fans and lovers of it and thus, the final rating it has overall. As I said before, I know it is a quality product, but I also have to say that from my point of view, it is very much over-appreciated. The plot itself is quite disappointing, presenting a series of events which ultimately intertwine but which do not carry a high level of interest, meaning or even depth. To be frank, the plot is quite lame. What makes it apparently shine are the actors which do a flawless job, but by itself, it's a mediocre set of stories. Furthermore, the satisfaction it gives throughout and even in the end is quite below average I must say. It indeed kept me entertained and made me laugh quite a lot, but this is not enough to make it a masterpiece as almost everybody say it is. If you put it into another perspective, it's just a movie full of violence an foul language which actually gives more F words than transmitting something deep through its plot.
It is without doubt a good movie, but its level of fame and acclaim by the audience simply puzzles me.
