And fiery acting, too--especially the leads. After that, a strangely protracted mid-section, weirdly cut, which often left me dumbfounded.
What was more confusing, on the video print I saw the film's English title appeared on screen about a half hour before the actual end. In fact, I thought the movie was finishing and credits about to roll.
No such luck--it went on for what seemed an interminably drawn out finale. No wonder some might think it over the top.
Yet, there was a strong visual style and iron-fisted acting from the principals throughout. Did I feel much for them? No, I merely observed their plight, with nary a moist tear formed for their requiem.
Still, I note many appreciated this "male Bonnie and Clyde import," which apparently was based on true events.
