Ending *Spoilers*


The ending falls apart with Blythe being the bank manager. So the number one criminal on the FBI's most wanted list works his way up to the manager of a local bank to lure many of his past accomplices to his bank to kill them. Really, it's hard to guess who done it, when it makes absolutely no sense. It would have been a bit cliché, but the only people who could have been Blythe were either the Swiss Miss or Kaitlin. Other than that one glaring plot hole, this movie tried to put a decent twist on a tired genre.

The funniest twist is when she said something like why shouldnt I just kill you. ANd Patrick Dempsey answered something like that shes not a killer. When she have killed *beep* of peoples in the bank.

reply

Wasn't Blythe the one doing all the killing?

reply

What's funny he's you didn't understand *beep* of the story. Ashley Judd never killed anyone, she took advantage of the shootout in the dark to take the money from the robbers. Jeffrey Tambor is the one who did all the killing. So the dialogue between Ashley Judd and Patrick Dempsey is not ironic, it's just you didn't get what happened before.

reply

Technically she didn't kill the others, but she was seen shooting at Drum.

reply

Completely agree with OP. This was a below-average black comedy that wasn't particularly funny. But when the dull bank manager is exposed as the top criminal mastermind of the country, then that is pretty desperate. Entirely forgettable film.

reply

Yea, but was it *REALLY* the bank manager? Supposedly it is either the bank manager or Dempsey. And everyone seems to think it is Dempsey at the end, except Ashely Judd backs Dempsey up and says she overheard them in the bathroom and the bank manager was the bad guy. But how was that possible if she was busy loading the cash into her gift boxes (in the dark, mind you)? That takes a lot of time and she can't be in two places at once. So was she just saying that? Or did she really overhear the bathroom conversation?

SPOILERS

If Blythe really did know the #@@# was going to hit the $@@% that day, he would have kept his insulin (or whatever) with him. he was out cold until they went and found his meds to inject him earlier.

at the end, in the car... Kaitlin doesn't deny anything he says... she says she's really Alexis Black, #3 in Bank Robberies.


reply

I agree that Dempsey was the actual Drum. And the bank manager was just trying to buy people off to save his life. But I want to add that the conversation between Judds character and Dempseys about the night vision goggles in the bathroom happened outside the vault. She never said she was in the bathroom.

reply

That would make Blythe an innocent, diabetic guy that got horribly *beep* to death by everyone..although I like the idea that Tripp was the real Drumm. Explains why he would just suddenly team up with a notorious bank robber.

reply

Dempsey was not Drum, what he happened to be is someone brilliant but neurotic like 'Monk' or 'Columbo.' The reason he went along with her when it came to stealing money was he wanted her. Since Ashley Judd was HOT in this movie and he was a very unhappy person ( remember he needed his media)., so he decided to become happy even if it meant to turning to crime.
