SPOILER - given how we discovered that...

... Juliet was the ultimate criminal mastermind in this, even more than that, was it STILL wrong and IMMORAL of Christopher Eccleston's character to "hit her", as Ewan MacGregor's character later pointed out in outrage (even if at that time, he for one heavily believed her to be INNOCENT)?

Or is it at least somewhat of a mitigating circumstance?

P.S. And what, SPOILER ALERT, did we think of her getting away at the end even if she somehow doesn't get the money? And her living as well? Even if the film doesn't irresponsibly (well... and its a black comedy as well) "glorify" (are those things matters of OPINION and PERCEPTION or stone cold FACTS?) her character?

JUST WATCHED SHALLOW GRAVE RECENTLY...EVERYONE IS THE "BAD GUY" WHEN THAT MUCH BOOTY IS INVOLVED...EWAN'S CHARCTER'S SEEMINGLY BETTER NATURE IS SIMPLY HIM BEING SWAYED BY A DIFFERENT KIND OF BOOTY.

But I guess... He was still kind of wrong to hit her though. )

You only saw it just now? It has been around for nearly 30 years this film and many consider it Danny Boyle's best work.
