What wxacrly was I 'wrong" about? I said it was talky (it is) and overlong (it is). I also said it was a must if you are a film noir fan.
Follow Ups:
talky nor overlong.
"Talky" means excess: the brilliant dialogue is central to the film.
"Overlong" means scenes could be shortened or cut: which ones? None.
You also say it is a "must see" for noir fans, meaning that others needn't see it or that it's unnecessary.
Wrong again.
Three strikes, pobresito.

Benicio del Toro doing his best Bogie interpretation.
