Roxy ruined this movie.

The movie was great up until Roxy came along. I love how Frank calls her Juno, because she seriously was Juno, she was Juno throughout the whole movie. No teenager talks like that.

I also didn't understand why she was there. She just seemed like a bored teen with nothing better to do. She didn't care about the meaning of killing those people, she just wanted to kill people who annoyed her in petty ways. She sacrificed herself at the end for no reason. She had a great life with great parents, she was just going through an angsty stage.

She ruined the movie. Frank should have shot her in the face the second she opened her mouth.

Frank should have shot himself in the face before he had the chance to leave his house, and then the remaining bore of a film could have been bypassed.

And after the massively clichéd "oh my bad you aren't terminally ill" part, I half expected the end to be the easy-out cliché that the whole movie to just be a daydream.

The whole film felt like a cranky old man's amateur effort at making a cultural statement that only old people agree with.

Thank you for that massively insightful criticism, Poopfock.

I agree, after 10min watching Roxy , we just moved to the last scene. She *beep* up the movie, so unbelievable was the character that we couldn't watch anymore. before that, Frank was brilliant. It was believable and it was the first time where i finally realized how stupid the media is nowadays... society is dead.

100% agreed

without her probably would have been a 10/10 movie
