Wait.. did anyone understand this?...


Did anyone understand the ending when 50 Cent poured antifreeze on Vincent's head..? Did it serve any kind of purpose???

reply

It made perfect sense for this film, in that nothing in this film made any sense. If he had done something logical, it wouldn't have made sense.

It's like how Mia (the driver) was "family" with Vincent, but Sunny didn't know who she was, even though Sunny and Vincent were best friends. Huh?

Too many plot holes in this one to even try to piece together.

Your right,, the whole movie really didn't make a lot of sense..
It was also terrible and wasted 2 hours of my life!
-_-

2 hours? Fortunately mine was an 80 minute version. Is there a director's cut of this masterpiece?

reply

"Family" could have meant she was a cousin or whatever. He could have called her up just before they planned the heist...he did mention that she dated that guy so he could get her a job as a driver for the target.

Very dopey spoilers ahead! ...For instance the way the (presumably) out of town assasin finds his way to everyone, whilst "local" Sunny can't find any one and neither can Vincent find Sunny.

Or the way poor old Mia leaves her apartment unlocked (to her cost) even though she had already been threatened by Sunny. "Come on in," she says to the assasin (thinking it's Vincent) the door's open!"

Good Grief! Truly and laughably bizarre!

He didn't want him to freeze...

Have you ever had cold liquid poured on you in the middle of winter? it gets cold. The guy may die of hypothermia now. Way to stick it to the white boy, Mr. Fiddy Cent.



My "#3" key is broken so I'm putting one here so i can cut & paste with it.

OMG I was wondering the same exact thing> forst I thought it was gasoline and thought he was going to light him on fire. then I realized it was antifreeze and was very confused. Does antifreeze make bodies decompose faster or something?

reply

I didn't. It seemed totally random and pointless. I mean isn't antifreeze only dangerous if you drink it?

reply

Even more ridiculous, he was shown earlier in the movie buying the antifreeze, so it was apparently all part of whatever the hell his plan was. It made no sense.
