The lady bar owner said she wasn't coming back. It wasn't revenge on her. It was supposed be symbolism... burning down misogynistic culture. I read that somewhere, when I was searching for answers for WTF did I just watched.
Funny you single him out, which means you think everyone else was normal? Every single character in that movie was monotone. Right off the bat, opening scene... Colin Ferrell and his anesthesiologist talking about a watch was weird AF. The entire movie was a dream, Martins dream as others have suggested. I subscribe to that.
I agree. Here are some of my bullet points:
* Son is shot, neither moved quickly to call 911. I don't even think 911 was called.
* So I guess they wanted to make him more relatable? Just a normal dad, and they made us watch him train from scratch. Which doesn't make him more relatable, it just makes it more unbelievable. That in the end, he was taking them down like John Wick. He drove his car like Wick, and he fought the stairs scene like Wick. You didn't give him a backstory of ex military or ex assassin, you gave him a backstory of vengeful dad watching youtube tutorials on how to fight. LOL!
* All the info he figured about the gangsters, their relationships, their locations, etc. He puts it all on a USB for the police. So apparently he's better at doing police work, than the Police. On top of training to be John Wick just in time for Christmas Eve.
* Final scene... villain's girlfriend is spraying and wounding both Wick and Kid Cudi.. Perfect opportunity for head honcho to finish them off. But instead, he's in his disco room doing villain things, push-ups?
* Lastly, Villain has upper hand with gun right to the Father's face.. but of course won't shoot because he's waiting for Kid Cudi to shoot him in the back because that's how all movies end. LOL! Very generic fight scene and ending formulas.
Well, you don't know anything about w2s and 1099s if you did that. 😂
I know this comment is 8 yrs ago, but here's a bump! LOL! You pretty much nailed the contradictory nature of the plot. There are lots of cursing, lots of testosterones, lots of big talk about wanting to close, make money, etc. Yet the ending made me really SMH. Shelley's deal turns out to be bad because the people are nuts. It turns out Kevin Spacey (Williamson) had already checked on the lead 4 months ago. He throws it in Shelley's face that they are nuts and simply like to talk to salesmen. That moment made me go.. WTF, this makes zero sense. Do you not want to run a successful office, or not? Why would you recirculate these bad leads, and not toss them out? I think the movie is filled with too many contrived scenarios.
Well, white people are known to colonize. LOL! Anything that reminds us Nazis = bad, is good. But the fighting in the show is not believable. Every villain just waiting around for the girl to take them out one by one. They don't fire at the same time, gang up, etc. Just bad choreography.
You don't get the joke? You've never heard about how brothers like them thick? LOL!
They knew that the town already suspected them. That's why they were asked to help search, where they were grilled with some more questions of their whereabouts. Yes, at this point, the town isn't 100% sure, there is no proof. But if the bodies are discovered, the townsfolk will definitely crank up the questions, and probably step up to straight accusation. Marcus ran due to instincts, he knew he couldn't hack the interrogation, not confident in his own composure or acting skills. When Marcus ran, the jig was up, Vaughn had no choice but to follow. Also, If they didn't run, then you have a TV show, instead of a movie. LOL!
Columbo, the character, would pounce on that moment... "Awe, gee.. don't you recognize your wife?" I'm just gonna chalk it up as bad choice of words in script writing.
All his specials recently, try to have a deep message. He's a very cerebral comedian, but it feels like it's getting a bit too preachy.
