Actually, she's got it pretty good. Great apartment, cute guy, money, car. All she has to do is take out some scum when they call on her, once in a while. The rest of the time, take it easy in her cool apartment, live in a beautiful scenic place. I'd do it!
We have an expression here in Texas...hell, he needed killin'. Don't mean to be cute, but the people she is taking out, yes....would have no trouble with killing them. I think our goverment really already does this, actually. Osama Bin Laden for instance. That's the one we heard about as it's so high profile, over 3,000 innocent people on 9/11. Think it's being done alot in secret. Not a good thing, don't mean to say that at all, not something you are actually happy about, but there are those who do need to be removed...just a sad fact of life. Look at Assad in Syria. A recent massacre of 50, 32 of which where children.
midev, you are right, I think. It's easy to forget that. The head guy always hated her...even though she did her job, he said "we're going to clean her too" didn't he? If Gabriel Byrne had not fallen in love with her and lied ("and the girl (hesitation)....she's dead too" she would have been hunted down and killed as they did not find her body in the crash. Since he was trusted,the boss took his word that she died in the crash. Great movie. Too bad Brigitte Fonda has quit the business.
I thought she should've been more receptive to the idea, after all she was a scumbag before her 2nd chance. Her wanting out so quickly was a bit annoying, I felt she should've stuck it out for longer.
