The leader of the gang and most of the other gang members get away after the bank robbery and she has to deal with the guilt. The gang leader antagonizes her via a letter she receives 17 years later or so after the bank robbery with a dyed C-note (a lot of the money from the bank robbery got stained from a dye pack planted in the some of the stacks of money) from the robbery contained within the letter and it catalyzes her to go after him. It is somewhat hard-boiled and realistic, so I think it is worth a watch for those that have not seen it. I would rate this movie as pretty solid and give it a 6.5/10. I don't see any reason not to see it, if you haven't seen it already.
I watched it a few hours ago.
I fast forwarded some of the sub plot daughter scenes.
Endless yakking that was unnecessary.
Plus, I just hate when women cackle.
I had to fast forward the never-ending ending when she was looking at the sky.
Funny how they basically made the dude a simp.
He's only doing this job for her lol.
He refuses to go all the way and kill anyone but has no problem with robbing a bank.
You can't commit to that sort of thing without going all out to the dark side.
Anyways, I could easily review this movie, but the movie reviewed itself at the end.
When the screen turned black, and it read: Directed by Karyn Kusama.
Enough Said.
Maybe the overarching message of the movie is "Be a simp, get yourself killed" ;-) .
That's one way to look at it.
I kept thinking this movie is saying to me: "I am Woman, Hear me Roar"!
And that was confirmed when I found out who directed the movie.
Entertaining Enough but it's tough for me to imagine Nicole Kidman for that lead role.
That bitch only got big in Hollywood because she married Tom Cruise.
I feel like they stole a lot from the 1991 movie RUSH.
