The cinematography in Ace of the Diamond is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Director clearly thought Ace of the Diamond was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Ace of the Diamond?
Honestly, Ace of the Diamond would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Ace of the Diamond actually is?
Everyone praising the Ace of the Diamond performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.
