The Flash Mob Part Was Stupid

Ok was anyone seriously expecting something really awesome when all the bikers in the city got the message. I thought it was going to be an epic ending, instead its just a few hundred bikes shoving one cop. Ohhh yea, thats so awesome, thanks for the nice build-up, you d-bag writers.

That scene ultimately destroyed this film. I said in the beginning when Joseph narrated "we always help eachother" that just wait when some idiotic scene is gonna get played where all the bike messengers suddenly help the main character. It was totally gringe worthy holy hell and they put it at the end so all you had was this bad taste in your mouth when you left the movie theater.

That scene makes me embarrassed to recommend this movie to friends. It's a shame because I was ready to invite some friends tonorrow to watch it.

Please excuse any typos, this was typed on an iPad

Lol thats funny, I was pretty embarrassed about that scene too. I feel bad for the actors who were forced onto doing this scene, it must have been painful for them.

I enjoyed everything until the impound scene...then it got goofy and lost credibility.The cop getting executed after the 70's "biker gang"arrived was grotesque and strangely gratuitas.

I kept hearing Benny Hill music during the impound scene in my head.

I almost threw a shoe when that scene came about.

It was extra stupid because Monday just stood there getting punched. That crooked cop, with his sense of entitlement and violent temper would be afraid of a group of bike messengers. Yeah, okay.

Dear Ndugu, how are you? I am fine.

Thanks!

I love Alexander Payne movies, and yes, the end of About Schmidt was very poignant.

Dear Ndugu, how are you? I am fine.

I cringed. It was on par with a bunch of 6-year-olds throwing snowballs and saying, "Neener, neener, neener."

It was a weak version of a blanket party, for those who have seen Full Metal Jacket.

I was thoroughly enjoying this movie up until that moment, and although it didn't ruin the movie for me, I agree with a previous poster that it left a bad taste in my mouth.

Here I also have to agree with my fellow commenters.
Also for the individual bike messenger, just showing up and hit someone they do not even know out of the shadow of a group... I hated that scene and even the love interest taking part in it... it all made them seem like dishonorable cowards.
