Seriously? 10 year olds?
It seems kinda odd for this film is about ten year olds stealing a cop car. I think it would be more realistic if these kids were teenagers. It's gonna be dark watching Kevin Bacon threaten little kids with a gun.
shareEven for 10 years old, they acted remarkably unintelligent.
I'm pretty sure I was a bit more aware at that age regarding how cars and other simple mechanism work:
You have a gun. It doesn't work. There are controls on the gun. Do you:
A. Smash the gun against a window or
B. Have a look at the controls.
All in all, their stupidity was just a bit too unbelievable, even at 10 years old.
The kid didn't throw the gun against the window to get the gun to work. He threw it against the window to try and smash the window.
*Danny's not here, Mrs. Torrance*
And what kind a idiot 10 year old runs away? It's stupid for a teenager to do that, but for a 10 year old it's downright retarded.
"We don't have any money, we don't know anyone, we can't do anything and we have one Slim Jim. I think we'll be fine for the next, 20, maybe 30 years. No problem."
That "Oh, they're just kids!" sh!t doesn't fly. It's like eating paint chips. Not all children are special. A lot of them are just fcking dumb. The ones that eat paint chips and the characters Harrison and Travis were just plain dumb.
Never trust a black man named "Chip."
