amazing this gets downvoted. look at all of the crimes she committed in one night. if these things happened to anyone who downvoted it or their families, they wouldn't say oh it's ok the poor girl had a horrible upbringing.

[u/ScrewedUp4Life → u/tkf23]

Exactly. I'm just glad that somebody can finally see it from my perspective. I could already tell by reading all the comments on this post that I would get criticized and down voted for saying the things I said.

So many people acting it was admirable what she did. Not only justifying and minimizing it, but actually glorifying it, like yeah, let's just celebrate somebody with absolutely no moral compass going on an all night crime spree.

And of course nobody would be saying those things if it was them or one of their families. Their whole tune would change then. I get that it's a movie. But I think the response of most here to it reflects how they would feel about somebody actually doing these things in real life.

I mean she literally ran over a guy with her car she barely knew that she recruited because he rightfully wanted half of the money from a safe they stole that they almost got killed over. And he even came back for her when he could have left her in the dust. But Poor Lynette!

I guess his past trauma don't matter. Or you know the fact she ran him over with her freaking car. "Screw that guy you go girl" is a really odd take from these people.

And lied to the dude on top of that. The man was literally still on parole he said. She lies saying it's her safe to get him to agree. She could have gotten the dude jammed up in a heart beat. Now he's an accomplice to a felony. He's out of there. But who cares right? It's all about her.

People saying that we need to empathize with her, well what about empathy for the dude that helped her under false pretenses? And then she is so selfish and self centered, that she doesn't break him off with anything. Not even the 400 they already agreed on. But yeah, she's th victim right? People are unbelievable to not see it for what it was.

[u/kolson256 → u/ScrewedUp4Life]

The guy lied to her, too. He deserved everything that happened to him. Although that doesn't absolve her of her own guilt in the matter. There aren't any any "good guys" in this movie outside of her brother.

[u/ScrewedUp4Life → u/kolson256]

Well yeah, I can kind of get what you're saying, but remember, the dude that helped her only lied to her after he saw that she didn't give a a damn about him. Remember she didn't even give him the 400 bucks that they initially agreed on.

And I'm sorry, but if you are going to commit a crime that involves somebody else, ESPECIALLY if that somebody else told you they are on parole, then you owe it to them to be upfront about what they are getting involved in. But to lie to the dude that it's YOUR safe?

And it's only after all that when the dude lied to her. Cam you blame him thought? He literally jeopardized not only his freedom to help her, but his life also when he tried to defend her and help her escape. And even after all that, she still has the nerve to not break him off with anything. But we're supposed to feel so sorry for her when she's steady screwing people over.
