This movie was pretty good. I was worried that the charm of the movie wouldn’t last through the entire 1 hour and fifty minute run time, but where the charm failed, the dry humor was there to pick up the slack.

As the summary said, Bill Murray is hunting down a shark that killed his friend, and the movie is about this journey to get revenge. The plot is simple and it has some pretty fun moments with a few twists and turns that at least keep you interested into it. Wes Anderson Movies are always that way, Charming and slightly awkward. They defiantly have the cringe factor but it does it in such a way where it really works. The story was alright but it’s the interactions between the characters that really make this movie. While they never really go in depth with many of the characters the characters that they do go into have a very interesting relationships.

The music is really, really good. It’s David Bowie songs covered and translated to Portuguese by Seu Jorge, and it is fantastic. If you want a movie with a great soundtrack this is a movie for you. They cut from the actual story just to have Seu Jorge sing a part of the song. This sounds like a bad thing but I really like it actually. The music really adds some atmosphere to this movie and it’s simply put nice.
