Question (Possible spoilers)



Who was the guy towards the end convulsing on the bed in pain (where he takes a cloth and puts it in his mouth to muffle his cries), and what was wrong w/ him?

Also - and I think it was the same guy not sure - one of the guys in Brad Sr.'s gang said he refused to have anything to do with taking out Brad Jr. and his friends and turned and walked away. Why was this?

Atomgirl, the first guy you asked about was gangmember Tony Pine. He was epileptic and was having a seizure.Christopher Walken's character pointed it out a couple of times during the movie whenever he'd introduce him to someone. The guy that did'nt want to take out Brad Jr. was Boyd.The only reason that I ever thought why was that he'd probably had enough of killing.That and seeing that Brad Sr. would actually want his own son killed!
