SPOILERS!
So, I just saw 3 movies in the past few nights. I already talked about Inception. It was fun, but I already commented on it. Predators was okay. I like Goggins and Trejo, but the rest was just...... okay.
But anyway, I liked The Town, but it was just Good Will Heat (with a possibillity of) Redemption. Just not very original and some of the plot devices went nowhere. Obviously, there will be spoilers, but:
1. That chick still liked him after the psychological pain he caused her? And then stalked her? And then fucked her? It just screamed of "Once I got too close to you, I fell in love. Forgive me." I just didn't get it.
2. Fat Driver thought he'd get out somehow alive?
3. I've never understood why these robbers don't care about killing people. I get not killing 20 people in a bank, but a few guys in the Vault? The chick? You're going to jail the rest of your life if you get busted, you might rather have the death penalty, especially if it means you'd get out easier in the heist. That's really just a nitpick, but it kinda bugs me.
4. His buddy who'd done alot for him is about to eat lead and he stands there to watch? Get the hell out! He's giving you, rather he knows it or not, great escape time.
5. The FBI just gave up? They should of had an ending scene with Hamm in the Office looking up shit or making a comment about "Looks like he's gone, just gonna make our job harder from here on out, but it'll make it that much sweeter when we nail the townie bastard" or something other than just walking away in defeat. I guess giving the other guy the GFY note was meant to mean he wasn't done, but it just seemed like he gave up. Also, The FBI just assumed she'd give up on him? The last call sure felt like a goodbye to me. Way to go FBI.
6. I wish those guys they beat up in the apartment woulda made a reappearance at some point that woulda cost them down the line to show that Renner's character was an idiot for showing his face to them for no reason. But nothing ever happened. Coulda been a nice little touch.
These might be minor storytelling nitpicks, but I just overanalyze these things these days while watching movies. I never used to do that.
