It sounds like the directors were trying to have their cake and eat it, too, so to speak--give the audience the clear good guy/bad guy contrast between the two main characters, but also show a nice character arc for the "good guy," even though that meant contradicting some of the information they used to *create* said good guy. Sounds fun nonetheless!Cheryl Reifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01717232463223093632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4206355073837906221.post-18560849536367268262012-01-23T05:05:30.681-08:002012-01-23T05:05:30.681-08:00I have noticed tidbits like this missing in other ...I have noticed tidbits like this missing in other films.
