$$$$$ HE NEVER GOT PAID $$$$$$


Not that it would have redeemed this putrid slop of cinematic atrociousness.... but the final scene's extremely lame depiction of a bad-ass James walking away justified and redeemed... means NOTHING.

He couldnt even collect the measly 13 grand from those clowns.

Still a complete loser on any sane standard.

i'd think that is probably part of the point, or part of the charm.

It's highly disturbing to me that, as I sit here, I have absolutely no recollection of this film.

Okay... I'm going back and I'm going to watch the trailer.

:P

Sean was a drifter. Aimless.

Watch the opening where he is painting. He just randomly rolls it on, no direction, no pattern.

Then he meets up with Adam Baldwin character. Now he's in over his head and things go seriously fubar for him after he kills the accountant.

Then, he erupts from his 'womb', the torture shed where they try to erase his mind.

He remakes himself, he is organized now.

He plans and executes his revenge. Even the pleading from the man he paralyzed did not even make him question his plan.

the 'crooks' made a man out of Sean, and it turns out, at least 2 of the crooks went men at all . .
