In Reply to: That scene was terrible - especially Kevin's "finger gun" ........ posted by PdL on June 30, 2004 at 07:40:58:
The scene was in the book and shows that Bacon is on to Penn and will eventually get him.

That is what I have understand.
Kevin will arreste him and Penn if you do " c´est la vie "
It almost seemed to me that a slightly different effect is intended in the film ending, as compared to the book's. The feeling that I got (because of other elements in the film) was perhaps that Bacon was certainly communicating a certain kind of morbid "knowing", based on a shared experience. Perhaps Bacon had also felt relieved of something... and assured of something else. Bacon knew that Robbins' personality had been so destroyed in childhood that he, in essence, had been little more than the walking dead... the curtain had essentially been pulled down since that day. Perhaps Bacon felt that fate had dealt poor old Robbins a favor of sorts? Or, that the ongoing processes of revenge being displayed throughout were really the best efforts of thwarted souls to win something back again? It's all a little confusing, but a good film, IMO.
w/o reading the book before seeing the movie, Kevin's finger gun seemed pretty cheesy.........
