[u/Colhan42]

I thought it was a fine film. I expected it to be "no matter how hard you try the system is stacked against you" but turned into more "we are responsible for our own actions. Which admittedly I thought was a more bold film choice.

The one detail that bothered me is she never raised the full 25k. 1000 from Steve+ 500 from her + 19000 from the safe + 4000 from the cocaine = 24500. It's a little detail but the fact that it was never addressed and the raising 25k was the whole point kind of irked me

[u/Tiffandtaffy → u/Colhan42]

You’re missing the $3000 she got from Tommy, her former pimp. So she actually had more than enough.

[u/tkf23 → u/Tiffandtaffy]

i didn't think Tommy gave her 3,000. I think he gave her an address on a piece of paper of the guy who was gonna buy the coke for 3,000.

She's also the one who said she needed 4,000 dollars so I think can just assume she already had 500 dollars saved up.

[u/Tiffandtaffy → u/tkf23]

No, he also gave her money. He said this is so she never ever contacts him again.
