My wife and I felt the same. It never fully connected for us.

Anyone know what the point of the beach scene in France was for? Horses getting shot. Ferris Wheel with a man dangling from a seat in the background? Car radiators being whacked with a rifle's butt? It didn't seem to matter to the story, but a good deal of time was spent there.

Likewise, the scene with the French man with the head wound talking with Briney (?) in the hospital. We couldn't figure out what plot purpose this had.
