[SPOILER]Except it wasn’t the last 10 minutes, it was the halfway point. And by then, it was already clear that they were terrible people. That you managed to find Duke - the misogynist douchebag with the gun - and Birdie - the ignorant, walking gaffe in the fishnet face mask - sympathetic is a testament to your own level of tolerance. If I had to guess, I would say Rian Johnson was going more for chugg’s feelings about the characters than yours. Johnson is the closest we have to a modern day Jean Renoir and Glass Onion is about class warfare. These characters were intentionally written to represent the worst of today’s wealthy:

Miles - Elon Musk
Duke - misogynist influencer
Birdie - ignorant celebrity 
Claire - phony politician 
Lionel - bought-off “scientist”

We’re not supposed to like them. That’s why the movie works. You spend the first half of the movie not liking these obnoxious snobs, wondering why you should care about their stupid murder mystery weekend, only to have the rug pulled out so Johnson can let you in on the joke. I’ve now watched it four times.

Anyway, for every Siskel there’s an Ebert.[/SPOILER]
