Great Movie but... (spoilers)

Rating: Null/10 (10 November 2003)

Just saw the movie this afternoon and a friend e-mailed me this website. After reading a few comments I have a few things I agree with and some I disagree with. Yes the end was a bit of a letdown but when Sean made the hand/gun gesture to Jimmy at the parade I didn't think he was saying "hey" but he was letting Jimmy know he was going to get him and Jimmy was saying go ahead and try. I didn't understand why Dave's wife believed he was guilty so soon; why she immediately made the leap from the story he told her about the mugger to him killing Jimmy's daughter. And then why she went to Jimmy rather than to Sean. She had to know what Jimmy would do. Was there something in the book to explain this? I think perhaps the movie would have been better if it ended with two grown men watching the car drive off with the little boy Dave in it. You know that Sean being a cop is going to try to find the evidence against Jimmy. The whole parade thing was unnecessary.
