I sure hope Stephanie called the cops afterwards


I know Joe/Gregory was a confused kid but the giy was ready to kill whoever was in the resturant. So even if she sees hes troubled, she knows he has a problem. And he can snap at any time in the future if things arent going his way.

Id report himbecause hes a nut job

Just curious as to how old you are and if you've ever worked at a job you've hated.

I used to work at a job that I absolutely despised..on night shift..for three years because it was the most convenient option at the time. People get stuck in places and it seems like the world is conspiring against them to keep them there. I can relate to the character in that respect..

I like that he was able to overcome his anger and frustration at the end and decide to move his life in a new direction.

Also had some nice songs in the soundtrack.

If you work ANY job and have feelings/thoughts like the main character in the movie, then you should seek professional help. RenderMeRandom clearly has some maturity issues similar to the main character in the movie, blaming everyone else is a REALLY solid mentality.... If you don't like where you're at, make goals to be somewhere else that have a legitimate chance at being reached. Pretty simple stuff.

i work at a fast food joint because im still in high school and there are not many job options for teenagers in my small town. there have been many days when the boss just pushes us all over the edge, now im not saying we're going to go shot her but we do come up with funny little ways of killing her off, its kinda just a way to get rid of the anger. With this experience i think through out the movie joe was just trying to get over his anger by imaginging thing he would never be able to do.

The movie was pretty open-ended for interpretation as to whether she called the cops but for some reason I don't think she would have.

I thought it was a beautiful moment at the end of the film
Joe/Gregory figured it all out and throws the gun in the river

I wish that anyone who has that kind of rage,who was considering doing what Joe/Gregory was planning to do, would come to that same final conclusion


Nikki Reed was awesome in the movie
