This might have been written better, I usually marvel at Spanish cinema for the way it's written and directed, but that's just my personal taste. Movie doesn't try to be AAA, or to give deep coherency to what's going on, or to it's characters even - it is just as crazy and unexpected as the life we live is, and I honestly feel that was the honest intention of the people who made it. Ending feels a bit rushed, when you're bombed entire life with big Hollywood catchphrases and bad guys giving it a big ceremony before kicking the bucket, but again - life turns around for better or for worse in a blink. Why wouldn't art imitate life... And honestly, and you may call me a crybaby, I applauded alone in my room when I saw the ending. It does not try to keep you in your seat for another 10 minutes, it just concludes with a very simple underlying message. And it's satisfactory, while adding an element of goofiness just to stay on it's own rails that it rode for the entire runtime.
