...just killed 4 people in cold blood.


First of all, I don't think that in any way it would be considered "in cold blood". Secondly, didn't we just read, not more than 10 seconds previous, that one of the bodies was never found? Piss poor editing, I believe. If that scene had taken place prior to us reading about the whereabouts of said fourth victim, it would work, because what we read was after the F.B.I. has had a chance to investigate. The final scene is when the case is turned over to the F.B.I. Non-linear at best.

Still, right up there with one of the worst movies that I have ever watched.

Because I'm a pimp, and pimps don't commit suicide...

Well, she did technically kill them "in cold blood" since she was wearing clothing stained with her blood from all of the torture they put her through that was likely rather cool by that time. That ending scene was even worse than the rest of the movie, which is already very difficult to beat.

The movie was just terrible overall. None of it made sense, and I really don't get why it took her so long to kill them. Why didn't she do anything when she was first walking around with the shard of glass? Michael Rooker and the woman with the camcorder were standing there right in front of her. All she had to do was walk up, stab Michael Rooker, take his gun, and then shoot the rest of them. She wouldn't have been mutilated, the rest of the girls that were alive at that point would still be alive. But she watches the other girl die and then tapes the glass to the bottom of the chair so she could use it later after they torture her more. I just don't get why she didn't take any action then.

Also, last I checked, suicide was supposed to be a sin, but that guy planned on killing himself after he dealt with Amelia? Did he think he built up enough "sin credit" with his attempt to save these strippers that killing himself wouldn't count as a sin?

And why did they keep letting her have a camera anyway?

It was to point that the government and laws are evil, and self-defense is a crime.

Also, they knew all along she was no stripper and she had a daughter, right?
