You both specifically mentioned Crow... as if he chose to play a psycho who also was capable of feeling and/or doing good. If you just meant the character that's a different story... I have no problem with a character who's multi-faceted and complex and could go either way (kill you without a second thought or help you) depending on how he feels in the moment. If you guys do that's certainly your prerogative.

I thought he played that character almost perfectly... the level of confidence and charm seemed spot on. He decided to make sure the kid got the dough because he respected the kids courage and the fathers courage AND because he was tired of his crew and liked the challenge of escaping from the prison train and/or prison.

There's an obvious tongue in cheek-ness to the character that made it fun... it's not supposed to be anything like Fonda in the SL film. Why would anyone want their psycho's to all be played the same way?
