Would you go outside?


They're all in the hotel room, including the law enforcement guys. After the gang swells up in size, the law guys all go out and lay down their guns. And get executed for their efforts.

My immediate reaction to that is "well, I guess no one's going to think about leaving now."

So what happens then!? They all talk about the son and the other guy leaving! Huh?! Were they not paying attention?

Like I said above, would you leave?

And a little later, they're gone. Just disappeared, I guess. Not a word about how or where they went. Guess they couldn't think of a plausible way to show them getting away.

Seems like just staying in the hotel would have been the safest. The main guys were going to be leaving soon anyway.

I only saw part of the film. And it looked very well done and acted. Just wish it paid more attention to plausibility. Totally unbelievable events tend to take me out of the story.

ps. And then there's the ubiquitous "bad guys always miss when shooting the good guys" paradigm.

Thanks for responding, mule
Yeah, the kid and the other guy only had to hide out in the hotel. The hero and Wade had to go of course. Otherwise you don't have the story.

The son and the other guy talk about the option of leaving because they plan on leaving (and do leave) AFTER Wade and Evans leave the hotel. Remember, they say they'll hole up in the room across the hallway, then leave after the action and attention has shifted away. Once Wade and Evans leave, it doesn't really matter anymore. Everyone is after those two, and that's all that matters. The location of the hotel becomes mute, and anyone can then go and please as they wish, because the center of attention has shifted.

My mistake. I missed the part where they planned to stay somewhere in the hotel.
Thanks
