[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Nash Bridges?

Look, I wanted to love Nash Bridges. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Nash Bridges?

Honestly, Nash Bridges would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

The cinematography in Nash Bridges is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Just got out of Nash Bridges and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Unpopular opinion: Nash Bridges is the most overrated film of the decade

Director clearly thought Nash Bridges was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.
