by not saying more about your very question. If one keeps speculation in check, the answer is entirely in keeping with the high level of development the film shows altogether and not only makes contextual sense, viewer feelings are positively enlisted.

This is no shootum-up; it's a pretty smart crime ride ala Memento but not as "tricky" in plot. There's real sastifaction all along. Though not documentary in flavor, by any means, there's a distinct movie-realism feel to it. The viewer is an insider to the action.

Recent remarks notwithstanding, this is a better, though less ambitious, film than The Departed.
