"I think she was just already annoyed with the prior sequence of events"
Interesting. I thought she was annoyed at herself for starting to fall for Mac, after having gotten nice and cozy with safe Nick. Another woman's point of view.
"He made mistakes. He apologized for them and he's been trying to redeem himself ever since."
Has he? I remember at least two events, one with his girlfriend and one with the cop. I can swallow one bad behavior, if it's followed by quick amends and behavior change. Two is too many in my book, and makes me think his new leaf is more motivated by loss of acting opportunities than true remorse. I suspect I'll always have a creepy feeling when I see him on screen.
"The fact that she's SOOOOO angry with Nick is what I really find puzzling. He was a cop doing his job, as he explained to her."
You know, we humans really hate having our romantic feelings used for someone else's practical purposes.
But the way I see the conflict in this film is that Jo Ann meets a nice guy, gets excited about her new relationship, but then discovers that Mac has deep feelings for her, and it turns her on. She explores the new relationship, and finds that the chemistry is even better with him than with Nick. It's not an unusual scenario at all. That's why people who seem promising sometimes disappear from our lives, or we disappear from theirs.
Of course the fact that she is now turned on by Mac by no means diminishes her anger at Nick for having used her. And maybe she even uses that to justify her breakup with him.
