Jimmy's Wife

Rating: 8/10 (8 June 2005)

What do you guys think about the ending, Jimmy's wife seemed kind of manipulative and wicked, don't you think? Near the beginning of the film, she reminds Jimmy that Katie is not his only daugther...kind of implying that she hates how he pays all the attention to her and prefers her real kids much more than Katie. At the end, she tells Jimmy (kind of) that he should basically continue the life of crime he lived before. It also hints that she could have stopped him killing Dave ("why didn't you call") but she didn't, because she liked Jimmy that way. Also, all the wat at the end, at the parade...she looks at Dave's wife almost with a cold stare...almost not caring what his wife is feeling.
There were a lot of confusing parts in this movie. One that deals with this is the fact that Kevin Bacon, at the end, also kind of shows no remorse towards Daves wife when he looks at her. Its just like "oh well, I am back with my wife...go away." And talking about that, I see NO POINT in having Kevin Bacon having a wife in the film...maybe I missed something.
I had no idea about the story and towards the beginning believed she might have been the killer.
