Was the Rape references supposed to be funny?


When that dredloc guy came out and said he was raped my jaw dropped. I'm like that sucks and is very depressng to hear. No wonder hes oout for vengence. He just got out of jail and had alot of rape incidents.

didnt think all the rape jokes were funny. I felt bad for the guy.

The writing for this movie is very uneven, it may have sounded funny in the writer's mind but not translate well when filmed.

That the character got raped was not meant to be funny. It was Charlie's reaction to the situation that was supposed to be funny, coupled with his girlfriend's not actually helping attempt to stop it. And for me, it worked.

Exactly. "Was it a black guy?" I got a kick out of that especially the way he delivered it.

America's not a country. It's just a business. Now *beep* pay me.

It worked for me too, I thought the dialouge between Alex and Charlie in the car was good and I think Cooper in dreads was especially good in the scene.

This car chase kind of films isn't really my melody, but it was okay. Nice to see Beau Bridges for once, haven't seen any of those TV series he's in, so it's been quite some times since I saw him.

Dark Humor. I get It. I thought it was funny.

Also Kristen Chenworth's reference to date rape... really bad taste ... how many young girls gave been in the news for being raped lately. Not in good taste at all.

Dark humor isn't for everyone
