dpack_1 posted:I guess, I mean Chigurh never really gets caught, though also doesn't get the money and is injured for his efforts, and Bell retires rather than continuing pursuit, but still the money involved is always in the hands of criminals. I didn't know dogfucking was such an integral part of the modern heist movie.

dpack_1 posted:A lot of the Law Defeated stuff is still in effect. If I remember rightly this is the exact reason that the Australian film "Malcolm" was banned in Malaysia. Although it doesn't really follow your criteria, as it is the good guy protagonist that gets away with crimes. And there are a bunch of heist films where that poo poo happens, Oceans 11 to name a big famous one.

Often in those films they go out of their way to show how evil the guy they're stealing from is, that they deserve it in some way. I think Thomas Crown Affair (Original) is a pure heist that he gets away with with no exposition that who he's stealing from is bad.

Robert Altman's The Player has Tim Robbins get away with murder. It's a good movie too.

dpack_1 posted:I'll admit there are obviously gonna be some exceptions to this, Swordfish is the only one i know of that definitely is just 'Criminal rides off into the sunset with zero consequences'. That's because the bad guy in Swordfish is someone you're supposed to think was the hero all along.

If you count horror movies, there’s probably more with the killer getting away with it or reviving than not.

This would fall under the "deserving target" umbrella.

Memento posted:Arlington Road? Tim Robbins gets away with flattening the FBI headquarters and frames a completely innocent university professor for the whole thing. Parallax View with Warren Beatty ran with a very similar idea a few decades earlier.

For at least part of the video it had the look of "I have gotten myself into a predicament and am very sorry. Could you please assist me?"

Yeah, just watching the video again I get the sense that it's thinking "Ok the humans are here. I'll keep it together and let them figure it out."

As I was watching it, I started to wonder why they weren't hitting the snake, but I immediately realized that you probably can't gutpunch a snake, it's a tube of abs, right? Do they even have kidneys or a liver to punch? You can try and tear their head off, but you don't know if that'll start some contraction reflex that kills the victim. Can't even scratch it unless it's real old and then you just get a nailful of shedded snakeskin.

The kids did the right thing: control the head, use all your brute strength to uncoil the body.
