Important character dying offscreen & no real blame on Kevin was strange


How is it that after as big of an impact in the movie as he made, Kevin's death (I assume he is the "cousin" of Dre they were talking about at the end. If not, ignore this first part lol) was just brushed off in about 2 sentences. They should of at least showed what happened to him or explained in more detail instead of just "he died doing this, he had it coming:. I think it was poorly handled & could of made more of an impact. Now don't get me wrong, I understand he proved to be a jackass, he was still a vital part of the plot. I was hoping for at least a small glimpse of what happened, ANYTHING.

2nd, the fact that Carley putting most of the blame on Dre was kind of odd as well. I mean, I know she can't say anything to Kevin but she acts like it was more of Dre's fault then it really was. I think we can all agree that he should of just dropped them off at the hospital, but I guess he figured they'd rat them out. Kevin was the one causing chaos & shooting people. He is the reason the situation even started in the first place. I feel maybe at one point she should of maybe went "& I hope Kevin burns in hell for what he's done" or something. ANYTHING.

Overall, I thought the movie was okay. I kind of liked it, thought the way the story came together was interesting, just felt these 2 points just threw me off a little bit. I was surprised there wasn't topics about this already to be honest.

Because Dre sat by and watched everything happen to them when he could have ended it. He could have easily beat Kevin up or took control of the situation but he didnt. She has every right to be angry with him
