So-so movie with a great ending

Rating: Null/10 (2 January 2000)

Don't worry, I'm not going to give the ending away for those few of you who still haven't see this movie.
This was a movie which began as a sleeper, but quickly gathered a lot of hype. Although I thought the movie was just OK, I probably would have liked it a lot more if I hadn't heard all the hoopla. Also, I would have appreciated it more if I knew that the movie was largely improvised (and shot) by the players themselves. And I thought the ending (which, as I said, I won't reveal) was fantastic. All in all, I suppose it was worth being totally annoyed by the three protagonists for the first two-thirds of the movie.
Rating on my Manos scale: 30 out of 10.
