Slightly cheesy?

Rating: 7/10 (22 September 2004)

Full of spoilers this. I thought throughout the film it tried to hint that Dave's childhood attack had affected all three of them. In fact, towards the end, Bacon even says "Sometimes it feels like all three of us got in that car". I don't understand this. Penn has become a murderer, and Bacon a policeman. Would these be the actions of people emotionally scarred by a childhood attack on a friend?
I guess it's difficult to imagine how something like that would affect your life, and especially if it was to a close friend, I just don't think I'd have started killing people, or become a policeman. But then again, Penn and Bacon didn't really have much character development in the film.
I thought this was a little cheesy, and a bit too Hollywood for my liking. Other than that it was a reasonable film.
