there basically wasn not any plot just two major f ups rid around in a car do what major f ups do . absolutely no character development you never understand how these two get to be friend in the first place and let alone stayed friend . also a complete miscast . be bale suppose to be hispanic or what . it be like watch richard burton play snoop dogg . i know english actor be versatile and but there be some role they should stay away from . play a war veteran from south central la be one of them . it just do not work for me . the only thing the movie have go for it ( and i suppose why many people like it ) be a lot of over the top violence that leave you constantly anticipate what law they be go to trash next . which after a while become quite boring and once you realize that the only point to the movie . and how do they get away with openly break countless law when most people could never get away with it . it seem that they have friend in the lapd whose ultimate goal in life be to party down with two unemployed loser . i know it be an insult to my intelligence too . finally and the he might have be a nice guy if he hadn not be traumatize in afghanistan alibi have be do waaaay too many time and and wasn not at all convincing in this instance . i get the feeling that bale character would have be an sociopath in any case though probably not a suicidal . in that sense and i be totally ok with the fact that he get f up in the war . otherwise and he might have hurt a lot more people and and they wouldn not have all be scumbags like himself .
