I think that movie had 100% of its viewers rooting for the bad guys...even pinning the "bad guy" label on them now is not easy to do for most people, I'll bet.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-55373102107494382872012-03-19T04:53:58.929-05:002012-03-19T04:53:58.929-05:00I have struggled with rooting for the bad guys sin...I have struggled with rooting for the bad guys since I watched "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid", as a girl. Interesting premise, I will have to check it out.<br /><br />I have noticed in many, many books I have read that the authors like to make people pay for their crimes in one way or other.

At least two of the kidnappers are actually more sympathetic than the the cops chasing them.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-48135325827807229752012-03-15T19:38:31.725-05:002012-03-15T19:38:31.725-05:00As a former desperate young grad myself, I think t...As a former desperate young grad myself, I think this would hit a bit close to home, although I, at least, didn't consider a life of crime. It's understandable, though, considering the amount of debt a college degree or two can saddle you with - not only do you have to find a job in order to pay for the ability to exist outside your parents' home, you also have to earn enough to pay A Library Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06144279685884011943noreply@blogger.com
