I would have liked the movie better if...


Justice would have ended up by herself. I know there's supposed to be a romance element but it doesn't match the overall tone of the movie from the beginning onward. Justice starts off dependent on a man, a drug dealer. After he is killed in front of her she has no choice but to go to cosmetology school and support herself. Yes she is super lonely and still in deep grief but she's in a much better position than say her friend (dependent on a man, no skills). For her to end up with yet another loser is defeating the purpose of the story - which was actually self sufficiency, self love.
