Five-star movie deducts one star from brain-dead director

I like shocking plots, unexpected plot twists, screenwriters who write in standard English and actors who are full of tension and articulate clearly. This is almost a textbook five-star movie, but unfortunately it is cut off by the non-mainstream narrative sequence that the director deliberately shows off. Fragmented. In the rare case of technology ruining a movie, not all subjects are suitable for montage.
Summary: When a first-class story, a first-class screenwriter and a first-class actor meet a third-class director, you can only sigh.

  • [last lines]

    Paul Rivers: How many lives do we live? How many times do we die? They say we all lose 21 grams... at the exact moment of our death. Everyone. And how much fits into 21 grams? How much is lost?

How much did 21 grams weigh?
