Putting the storyline together

This is my first review. I felt this was a solid good watch from beginning to end. The intricate and layered storytelling, unfolding in a non-sequential timeline, is what hooked me in to see how things got from point a to point b and vice versa. The story starts out slow, building the foundation for the settings in both the past and future. There are several serious themes - socio-economic collapse, exploitation, vigilante justice, and grief to name a few - introduced and interwoven in the story that provides context and depth to the characters’ charm and plight. The screenwriting/directing and superb cast did an incredible job of marrying comedy and thrilling suspense. Despite the comedic naturalness between the main characters, which tends to soften and truncate the sadness (my only gripe, including the cgi of car mid-flight), this is still a tragic story with a hopeful message. I recommend this for those who like investigative and suspense elements, as well as thought provoking acclaimed works.
