Not bad but disappointing

I had interest in watching Election (2005) because of all the excellent commentaries I had heard about it.Now,after watching this film,I can say it's not bad but it disappointed me.Let's see the bad points from this movie.I felt the story from this movie excessively confusing.I always appreciate narrative complexity on a movie but what I do not appreciate is when the narrative complexity becomes very confusing and that's what happened to this movie.I thought the story should have been told in a more clear way without losing the narrative complexity.I also felt this movie has some redundant moments which do not add too much to the story.In summary,I think a more clear story and more focus on the editing would have made a much better movie.Now,I have to mention some positive elements.With some exceptions,the film did not bore me and I found interesting the implicit comparison this movie makes between gangsters and politicians.But,in spite of that positive elements,this movie did not result too satisfactory in my case.Maybe,I was expecting too much,I do not know.I think I can recommend this movie but I do not think I can recommend it with much enthusiasm.
