- The Movie from my point of view was pretty well done. I did however have a hard time understanding why Ray Harris’s little brother killed his Girlfriend, I understand that he loved his older brother, but really? Did he have to beat her with a hockey stick? NO, But I digress. The plot was well formatted. Example because I missed the first viewing of the movie yet when I started watching I understood what was going on, and could actually predict who killed Jimmys daughter. I also believe that the ending was done well. Jimmy had the conviction to rule the town, and the police officer knew he couldn’t stop him.

I think that the younger brother didn't want to lose his older brother like he lost his father. I agree with everything else you said about the movie . At the start of the movie though it was a little confusing on who killed Jimmys daughter.
ReplyDeleteI think it's supposed to be something like in the heat of the moment they impulsively killed her. They film portrays it as an accident - and I'm sure you've heard news (or seen films/tv shows) where murders happen for bizarre reasons, or no reason at all. :\
ReplyDelete@ Kelley- I think your right with that point, i kinda missed it haha.
ReplyDelete@Claire- i can understand the heat of the moment drama, and how they ended up calling 911, but still with a hockey stick? I dont really see it as an accident..
thanks for your comments!! ;)
