the ending **spoilers**


Why does Bradock kills Myron? There's no rational explanation unless Bradock's a psycho of which we have no indication during the film.

reply

MM maybe becase he didnt' want anyone to recognize him (and he save the girl only because he had some "attraction" to her?)this is my opinion...in case viewing my loved tim roth shooting,it's always a pain...(he dies in almost all his movies!;(

I´ve been thinking about this since I have seen the movie for the first time about 20 years ago.
Maybe Braddock had planned to kill Willie and Myron if anything goes wrong already from the very beginning? Why else did he have the rucksack and the other clothes in the trunk of the car which made him appear like a harmless hiker?

reply

Quite possibly. He felt no loyalty or affection for Myron, who was a screw-up and a loose cannon. His best chance was just to eliminate him.

Willie and Myron had a conversation earlier in the film in which Willie said that they are both safe until Paris. And Myron said that Bradock will take him to another jobs if he will like Myrons work. Then Willie asked him what will happen if he won't like it, but Myron didn't answer this question directly.
So I thought that Bradock just didn't think that Myron did well

In reply to the original poster I would have thought there had been every indication that Braddock was a psycho (and Myron a trainee psycho).

I'm pretty sure you got that right. His expression never changed during the entire film.
