We were watching and I died laughing when I saw the jelly beans. I hoped that it was the ending, because that was the only thing that could have saved this film for me. A guy kills people and is eventually murdered over a bunch of jelly beans.
Was anyone else disappointed that it kept going, especially if you didn't like the movie?
I was like please don't be diamonds,please don't be diamonds!
Ugh I was so disappointed that Hollywood is still portraying that diamonds are worth anything outside of the hands of Debeers.
That's the macguffin for you.
Here's a question: Why, if you were stealing diamonds or fissible materials (plutonium or whatever), etc, would you even bother to replace them with jelly beans? Except to shock the movie audience lol?
Maybe to fill up the weight of the empty canisters so that your young accomplice doesn't realize that you screwed him over.
