hey @joylovestowrite! i enjoyed reading your comment:) first of all, i do agree that there are some holes in the script (no charges against her behaviour at the school, or the fire scene). But in my opinion this film was not exploiting the violence in order to attract public to the theatres. And i cannot agree that nothing happens throughout the film. I guess it is up to each viewer to make the opinion on their own. And that's great that they differ:) ah, one more thing. in my personal opinion the suicide of the chief of the police was in the plot for a reason - to show who he was. He was proud and didn't want his family to see him getting weaker with every passing day. So he left "on his own terms". well, at least this is how i see it.
