If they were planning to blow up Baynard, why was Milo going to shoot him during the game?


I don't get that. Can you explain that to me?

reply

They wanted to blow up Baynard but knew he was getting outta there by running

reply

What do you mean?

reply

Well remember they said it would be cheaper to kill him and frame Joe for the murder

reply

Yes. But they photographed Joe giving the briefcase to the guards. And what do you mean that he was getting out of there by running?

reply

Yes but they were going to kill him dead, then make an elaborate scene for the frame job.

reply

And what would they achieve with the bomb?

reply

to get joe framed as the murderer baynard was to be killed during the football game

reply

But how did the bomb help?

reply

the bomb wound up being detonated at marcone's mansion with his doberman pinchers dying beside their master

reply

But that was not their original plan. I am sure Marcone didn't want to commit suicide.

reply

what was their original plan?

reply

Wasn't their plan to blow up Baynard? If Milo was going to shoot Baynard what was the bomb for?

reply

marcone realized that it was an idiotic plan because he wouldn't know when baynard would actually open the briefcase,
so his insurance was having Milo perched in an enlightened position to take out baynard regardless

reply

I don't remember Marcone saying that.

reply

he didn't have to say it

reply

I thought it was one of several gaping plot holes.

I did not like this movie AT ALL.

reply

Joe got the bomb away from the goons. Milo shooting him was the backup plan. I thought that was obvious.

reply

Milo shooting him was the backup plan after Joe and Jimmy stole the bomb.
