What ruined this movie... (Spoilers)


Was the sister killing her brother. So these two are as close as any brother and sister can be for their whole lives and the brother saves her life and rescues the sister and she kills him over a one night stand???

After he killed a cop then his actions at dinner maybe she felt she needed to stop him.

I honestly though Addison was going to commit suicide, and say: "Take care of my sister for me".

Its a bit of a cliched ending, but much better than the ending of the movie we got.

reply

I thought the same thing, I thought he was going to say "Right answer " then shoot himself in the head. Knowing he had no where left to go and had lost his sister.

reply

It was a long time coming and there were many hints throughout the film concerning the inevitable separation of the two.

reply

Agree.. Better ending would've been the brother killing himself after asking him if he loved his sister. The sister killing the brother to save her 1 night stand made no sense and turned this movie into a 1/10.

reply

Agree. Also ( not a ruined for me thing) why fade to black right then? Kate mura and her dad, Kris k and Sissy, the boxer and the sister, all need resolutions or why have them in the story at all? I think Bana killing himself, with some kind of approval to the new relationship would have been better than what we got. I think they just ran out of money and said "that's it we got it" and ran away knowing that it was crap.

[..] and turned this movie into a 1/10.

That kind of reasoning is just plain stupid.

yeah total BS! There were no hints that she was going to cut ties off with her brother BY KILLING HIM WTF LOL totally out of character for her based on actions. they didnt know how to end to movie. HINT LET THEM GETAWAY WITH THE MONEY ^_~

Hello seestra, nice to see you again.

reply

There are hints throughout the movie that suggest that her father was abusive, and when her brother kills their father, he takes over that role. She probably doesn't realize that the relationship with her brother is abusive, and thinks he is juts protecting her but at the end of the movie she finally realizes she doesn't want to be apart of that relationship anymore. Shooting him probably wasn't her first choice to get away from him, but she was afraid that he was going to shoot Jay.

reply

And with the XL unexplained reason of his sister asking Jay "beep" me Addison?

reply

I don't think she shot him to protect her bf. The cops had just arrived and it seems that she wanted:

1. To close this chapter (let me go) with a fresh start
2. Save her brother from probably death penalty and long term incarceration.

I had no impression at all that this was defense.

The little girl in the hunting cabin paralleled Liza's story if you think about it. The little girl (Lisa I think) saw Addison as an avenging angel that killed her evil and abusive (step)father - then she slowly realized that he was no angel at all. She even says so before he leaves.


That parallels Liza's story if you think about it, she saw Addison as her angel for "killing the devil" and she was okay with helping him pull off a heist where "no one would get hurt" but once she saw him kill that cop she started slowly seeing him for who/what he is. After the dinner table incident she finally realizes that he's no better than her father.
