729791, I liked the messiness of this movie.

I can see every complaint written in this post, but I think the strengths of this movie far outweigh those complaints.

I like messy morality, purposefully messy storytelling (the cameron crowe comparision makes a lot of sense in this regard, and the not fully formed but recognizable characters in this movie.

More than anything I really enjoyed not being able to predict what was going to happen in each scene and still wanting to know what happens next.

These days I feel like every movie bores me to tears but this movie did not do that.
