Astonishing creation of tension-building--the last 90 minutes are some of the most memorable you'll ever see. I remember the first hour being slow when I watched this in college, but upon rewatch it feels like the crux of the movie. The film wants us to understand the brutality and desperation that capitalism creates in order to better understand the journey the characters go on in the second half. It's like Sierra Madre on steroids, and it's incredibly effective.
The beginning is quite boring, but I enjoyed it more as soon as they started driving. Not everything holds up, but most of it is fine. Biggest problem for me was, that they didn’t let Mario and Luigi drive together. :wink:
The movie is good and I would give an 8, but for me that ending completely destroys the film.
The outcome could and should be the same, but done differently.
