But just because you break into someone's house doesn't mean they're allowed to trap you in the house and hunt you down like an animal.
That's precisely what it does mean - or should. You have no rights once you enter someone property uninvited and especially when you take a firearm along for company. Morons - snowflake liberal arrested development cases who strike poses and think themselves frightfully 'progressive' and enlightened, at least until they find themselves on the wrong end of a similar offence, at which point they revise their opinions rather quickly - defend wanton criminality when they say things like this.
Granted, the thieves are terrible people and they deserved to be arrested and put in jail for awhile.
Note the mealy-mouthed 'for a while'. The kidnap and impregnation of the car driver is neither here nor there. It has nothing to do with the burglary and in no sense redeems the trio's actions. They were on his property illegally.
Most will believe the plot resolves itself agreeably I have no doubt. 'Strong, independent wymmin' get away with it in films like this, and sacrificing men to the greater good of alleviating female 'poverty' is no sacrifice at all really, particularly when it involves - and doesn't it always seem to? - escaping 'abusive' Moms and their standard evil Nazi boyfriends. Who could possibly complain after all if Rocky's only aim was to give her little sister a better life in good ol' sunny California?
Not a bad film for tension but the amorality of these robbers renders them paper thin as characters. Nothing beyond greed and the avoidance of capture motivates them, and since they give no thought to the nature of what they're doing or its impact on anyone outside the group they possess absolutely no redeeming qualities.
You have to be clinically sub-normal or socially maladjusted to sympathise with this crew - a description, sadly, which fits an increasing proportion of the population these days.
Very sensibly [if nominally] set in Detroit. Maybe they should make a film about how the city got that way.
