What's with the smartass store clerk? *POSSIBLE SPOILERS*


I mean, Mike (the clerk) pulls out a gun and just starts blindly shooting? I’m sorry, if I work in a convenience store for minimum wage, do you think I’m going to put up a fight if somebody comes in there trying to rob me? Plus, when it was said and done, the guys tell him not to tell who they were, and he’s a smartass about it. “Maybe I’ll tell them it was you and maybe I won’t” or something to that effect. WTF? I would have said, “Okay, dude. I’ll say whatever. Just leave me alone and go.”

And then he has a change of heart all of sudden and wants THEM to take the money back? Are you kidding me? Then we get to the other clerk, some hick, who feels just as brave about standing up for the place he works at. What’s wrong with these people? I would have just thrown that damn money on the counter and said, “Here, this goes back to that other store… I’m outtie!” How freakin’ hard is that?

The acting, I didn’t think, was bad at all, actually. I’m pretty hard on “actors” who can’t act. Just some areas of the script were a little far-fetched. It’s worth watching if you’re bored on Sunday night, like I was.

Funny you are pissed with Mike and not the punks, with a gun. Mike didn't hear the guy say "give me the money". Mike looked up while the punk dude back was turned, saw the gun, then started shooting.
