No spoilers. Just an old reference.
When I was younger, there was a thing called a "shaggy dog story".
This movie has A LOT going for it. It has good character development, for example.
Good basic plot.
Good (although each mostly simple) complications to the plot.
Some elements of the action were never adequately explained.
But in the long run: too many things were not explained in the context. Many things seemed to happen with no rational motivation behind them.
They all did lead to the end... but not in any logical manner.
So, then comes the climax...
"Shaggy dog story".
