With those that say it's 'all over the place'...not so much in the first half of the film...but the end...the last act...it seemed to try to tie together too many loose ends too quickly... but it still was, for me, a great movie...not because of the amazing, powerhouse cast, either...although having some of those people in ANY cast will help, to say the least... the movie had a lot to say. And besides that, it was based, as others have pointed out, on a true story...and it tells an age old story about why humanity is circling the drain...because a few will try to acquire all that they can at the expense of all else... it was a seesaw of the aesthetic and the absurd...but i've come away feeling very good about having seen this movie...i'm just glad that i didn't see it in a theater...so i could get up and walk around or get something to eat, every once in a while...movies have gotten pretty long over the last decade and a half...and it was hard sitting through them when they were just an hour and forty or MAYbe fifty minutes... still...i'd rather that they be longer and say all that they feel needs to be said, rather than edit out important scenes to fit a specific time maximum...
