great, but why [spoilers] scene?

I feel like it added to his character. Like he was already scummy and a robber that getting some he was thinking with his junk instead of he head.

Because he needed the access to that car.

Yeah, I agree it was a very good movie. I think if he started it, he would just have to keep going or she might think something was up. He was really just a scum bag in general


I'm trying to go for an engaging, funny youtube channel so, if you have the time, take a look. Hope you enjoy what you see. Thanks in advance. A review of the movie here-https://youtu.be/TEbRQ1wp0oI

I think this entire movie was, at its core, a study of Connie’s character. I don’t think the filmmakers wanted you to walk away thinking he was a “dirt bag” or a flawed hero.

So, any scene that causes you to think harder about who he is— his strengths and his weaknesses— is arguably important. Any scene that adds complexity to his character. And this scene, as much or more than any, accomplishes that.

Also, what do you mean by “following through”? To me that would imply sex, or some kind of passionate intimacy. I don’t think his kiss lasted for more than 5-10 seconds, and he hardly seemed to care about it.

It's there just to push the audience further... to test our blind faith that Connie is actually a good person, rather than being expedient...

The movie is shot primarily from his subjective perspective... we're along for the thrill ride with him.. we're so used to identifying with the misunderstood or badboy protagonist in movies as we've been trained by seeing so many movies where the badboy redeems himself... This isn't one of those movies 😎

The whole reason for casting Robert Pattison in this role is that we're used to him being this semi-dangerous, type, from playing a Vampire in Twighlight to playing a badboy son in Remember Me... The audience knows he'll be a little bad, but ultimately good... In this movie, he's a reckless, feckless, impulsive idiot, who ends up endangering his brother and the community... What is his redeeming quality? He loves his brother... Really? It's a good thing, but is that enough?

That's whats so good about this... At the end, we see the brother, Nick, in the class, telling us through the game that they are playing that he feels he was at fault... This is a key scene... Yes, it is Nick's subjective opinion, but it casts doubt over everything Connie had said to justify his actions...

I like it. It plays with our expectations...

I agree with a lot of the reasons other people have already suggested.

I'd add that it was another opportunity. He got what he wanted by manipulating people. He could tell she was into him, so he took advantage of that - maybe it would make her more likely to give him what he wanted.

Did anyone else think he wanted to rob her ex-boyfriend's house?
