Not even when the gun seller is telling the dad he's a "preferred customer"??!!Bina007https://www.blogger.com/profile/01622085135305501711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18360914.post-9078956236905052012007-09-02T20:39:00.000+00:002007-09-02T20:39:00.000+00:00Now maybe, just maybe, the father’s reaction is re...Now maybe, just maybe, the father’s reaction is realistic and indeed he seeks to revenge his son – an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. And agreed, even the acting is quite good up to that point. However, it’s downhill, and steeply so, from then on. How does he know that the guy from behind him wants to shoot him? And how can 5 trained gang boys just miss him in narrow alleyway ten time in a row? Anyway, we’re still far from how bad it really gets. Once back at home with full police protection although being by now a known (!) killer himself, he gets shot only to wake up in hospital a couple of days later. Where, after having a dramatic monologue (not) in front of his comatose son, he elegantly bypasses the waiting cops by nipping out of the window to walk HOME, where the police of course never actually checks whether he might have gone there. Back in the 50hp insurance risk manager Chrysler, but by now looking like a badly kempt and heavily beaten up Becks, he looks to buy some guns. And, just to show how bad gang life really is, it’s the gang leader’s FATHER who sells him a whole lot of dangerous tools to kill his son. The showdown itself is rather poor in a run-down hospital, which he reaches after driving THROUGH the van of the guy that’s guarding the place (now in the Bourne Identity, JB at least pretends to use a seatbelt for such kamikaze moves, but I reckon that must be due to the outstanding CIA training). Getting shot at from both sides at the same time, he still walks out with only a slight bleeding in the throat to drive home to watch some family movies. I won’t even mention that the only thing the police officer does is to come by his house to let him know that his son has awaken from coma again. <BR/><BR/>So no, bipolar disorder is too mild. It’s plain crap. Full stop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
