Was this movie trying to deceive it's audience

Spoilers







Trying to make us feel for Adam, when Vito turns himself and Jesse in, so Adam gets a reduced sentence, and Adam makes Vito feel he was wrong for doing that, and Jesse calling Vito a lost cause.








Vito may not have been the perfect dad, but it's clear he loves his son, and joined the robbery, to keep Adam safe, after being unable to talk him out of it. What Vito did is something that Jesse would never do.


So how are we supposed to feel for Adam.



Matthew Broderick is awful in this, I'm surprised this was a big step down in his career.
