WARNING! This film can be boring!

Rating: 6/10 (2 December 2017)

What? Boring? Not according to the critics who can't seem to praise it enough. For them, it's full of pathos, violence, and rough guffaws.
The film does have all this but also plenty of something else -- long, sloooow shots of nothing and people staring into space for 15 seconds before they say the next line. Not just now and then. Almost ALL THE TIME! Apparently this is the way critics know that we are looking at an Art Film and not just some tedious popcorn movie. To them, dead space equals depth.
I gave it a 6 because the acting is terrific and the unexpected twists are more than welcome. I deducted points for certain twists that just didn't add up: burning down a police station and nearly killing a man earns a shrug after hearing a highly unlikely alibi? Don't think so.
And the ending! Take the two least likely people to buddy up and go on a revenge craze on someone who had nothing to do with the daughter's murder. Cute, huh? I think the director stopped every 20 minutes or so and asked himself, "What is the most improbable and outrageous thing that can happen next?" Then he wrote it into the script -- with plenty of loooong pauses so we could appreciate all the depth.
