Underrated movie. It starts off with beautiful directing and an interesting story to tell, elements of humor that work well and the obvious great casting.
Now I was able to figure out the ending, that wasn't so much because of the plot but rather down to the casting choice, I don't hold that against the movie though. My biggest problems with the movie were: after the first few scenes all humor disappears, which invalidates the opening scenes; during around the 3rd quarter of the film it loses its cinematography and style and becomes a bit of a made for TV detective movie.
I still think the movie was good and strongly recommend it, just be prepared for the downfalls and it'll be very enjoyable.
