No Closure By the Quick Death of Daniel Craig's Character


For me, I thought the fact that Tom Hank's character went into the bathroom and shot him in a second and walked off without any dialogue or closure was way to fast. Daniel craigs character essentially was responsible for the whole spiral of events that unfolded, and the fact that he was shot with out any development towards the end left me personally short handed as a viewer.

did any one else feel this way, or were you satisfied with that death?

Were you hoping for witty banter? It's just not that kind of movie. This was a guy we had just watched murer a half dozen men, guys he probably knew, and then to top it all off he killed his surrogate father. Guy was practically a machine at this point in the evening...

No meed for more closure here. Daniel Craig's character did not deserve any words. He hadn't earned the respect in my eyes. What would a morally sound Sullivan say to a immoral (Craig's character). Any words, I feel, would have taken away and not added to the scene.

I agree. I wasn't satisfied with that way of killing him. he could have pushed him out the building naked.
the guy killed a kid. can't get any lower than that...




I'll be good I swear... I'll never see a movie ever again.

AS I JUST re-watched this movie:

I can understand how you feel -- BUT by then, Sullivan was emotionally DRAINED. After all, he just killed his adoptive father, which was horribly painful for him. So, killing Connor was by that point merely icing on the cake, something for him "to get over with."

Mike wasnt a torture killer.....he just killed quickly probably because he didnt enjoy killing. As for Connor he just wanted him dead. He probably hated how protected he was so having all of his guards step away while he killed connor was probably satisfying to mike

reply

Conner didn't deserve any words.

Connor killed his wife and son

Really think Sullivan wanted to know WHY??
