Terrible Movie (Spoiler)


The acting was good, nothing there, but this: "Well now your s.. wife will birth a child, she had with a man, who wanted to kill you - and this is basically his revenge!"
- Seriously!

Did the maker hated cops, since he didn't wanted to show any empathy for the cop or what. Because the cop was doing his job, it's like, "well now let's walk all over him!"

Feeling bad for the bank robber, is on the other hand, something people in here have no problems with, allthough it is infact illegal to rob a bank, and how are cops or workers in the bank, suppose to know that the gun pointing at you isn't loaded, and the robber is not going to blow your brains out? These things do happen afterall..

But the policeman, who is doing his job, and actually feels sorry for what he did, though it wasn't his intention to kill her, but as the cop said if they hadn't robbed a bank in the first place, she wouldn't have been shoot.

And then the cop's religious hypocritical w.. wife is just caught in the middle - give me a break. They could have adopted or together gone to a donor, did she really had to f.. around - no!

I hope Roberts finds out, what his s.. wife did and leaves her.

This " Let's put another man's baby inside Robert's wife, without him knowing it!" Is really just as disgusting and pretty sadistic too - to decive others like that! At least give the man a b.. choice! If the wife at least had told Robert, or the bank robber had told Robert, what he did with his wife, or Robert found out himself, fine!

It is a bit like the maker just hates cops and always had this fantasy to get revenge on a cop, so he decided to unfold that fantasy in a movie..

That's why I think this movie is horrible and I have given it the lowest rating I could.

To me, that is a very odd take on the film. How on Earth did this film not encourage sympathy for the cop?

Yes, it is an odd reaction. I thought the filmmaker went out of his way to encourage viewer empathy for the cop. I found that all characters were treated fairly like that.

I've noticed that in story plots where a woman has sex outside marriage/relationship it provokes such a strong reaction in some people that no matter what the context they will condemn her, and often the filmmaker. On the other hand there is rarely an equivalent reaction to a man doing the same thing.
