Great film, annoying ending

Rating: 7/10 (4 January 2020)

I loved this film, I loved Tim Robbins, Sean Penn, and Kevin Bacon and I loved the plot. I was originally going to rate it a solid 9 stars, but I was so peed off with the very end of the film I docked 2 stars. I mean, its not even the murder at the end, its just the weird reaction of Sean Penn's character and his wife. It takes a lot away from his character to have no regret about it - and WHAT was with his wifes weird speech at the end? Like she suddenly turns into a supervillian for no reason and i'm not living for it. Also, why would Kevin Bacon react the way he does - seems pretty contradictory seeing as its his job to solve murders, and he took it pretty seriously up until then. And the weird gun hand gesture he does at the end to Sean Penn? WHY?
