$$$$$ HE NEVER GOT PAID $$$$$$
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.
Hope for the best. Expect the worst. Life is a play. We're unrehearsed.
