Hot Take: The Treasure of the Sierra Madre's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

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

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre actually is?

Director clearly thought The Treasure of the Sierra Madre was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre?

Honestly, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre 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 The Treasure of the Sierra Madre is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Rewatched The Treasure of the Sierra Madre last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.
