definitely for this specifically, but in general i like a nice, tight, economical script. of course there are plenty of movies i love that are 2+ hours, but if i had to choose between 120 minutes or 80 minutes based on run time alone, i'm going 80 every time. a movie like detour (1945) is a great example. i think it's like 70 minutes and absolutely knocks it out of the park.
