Entertaining though unrealistic at times


It was a fun film but the plot got slushy towards the end, it's worth a watch though.

that ending was a big letdown. the fight scene when that kid was tied up with tim roth and that lady was pretty funny.

Why, did you expect Adam to kill Peter with the gun? He was too much of a good guy to do that. The most he could do was intimidate him, but that doesn't work on people like Peter. The girl was the only one who could do what works on people like Peter.

Maybe I chose the incorrect word as my title. I agree basically, and yes, if crime films are 100% real life like they wouldn't have any style & flair. The film Stand Up Guys was extremely similar in it's main plot and it also shared much of the same unrealistic scenes, but those scenes were some of the most classic in the film.

I guess in crime films, for them to succeed in entertaining the audience, being unrealistic is almost detrimental.

The one thing that is shared between many, sh!t almost all crime films is the lack of police presence & the carefree attitude of the criminals, because if not that what else? We would be bored.

What I meant in the title was the seemlessness in the film, the way people were so easily found, like they were all carrying GPS tags on their backs. Maybe if they showed a bit more of how they kept finding each other at certain points in the film

The whole movie should be mercifully erased from the memory of the poor souls who watched it.

I just turned it off after he gets to the Latvian fella and the stupid bitch walks up, then drives off in their car.....
Im gonna guess she was the serial killer on the news..... (because she had, yawn, attitude!)

I hated it.

I own it on DVD and have watched it several times...I'd say at least 10 times...and I still love it! I don't want it mercifully erased from MY memory, thank you.

"Watched it 10 times and still love it?"
If that statement has even 1/10th of truth to it then I doubt you have enough brain power to form a reliable memory.

Boy...you're a real firecracker aren't you! I don't think that sort of attitude was called for. Seriously, did I hurt you by that post? Heaven forbid if anyone can say anything without getting some sort of smart ass remark back. What a sad, sad world.
