I guess I'd checked out of the plot by that point...to find out that it hinged on the contrivance of an undiscovered second murder and to find to boot that the main murder was basically a random accident...this was a big letdown after a well-done setup...so I gave up on plot and somehow just accepted that Kevin Bacon's wife would now start talking (this was all quite ludicrous and unnecessary anyway). And Kevin Bacon, cop, letting Sean Penn, murderer, off the hook? Maybe it was sympathy for the loss of his daughter, maybe it was the old childhood bond, maybe it was the known fact that "Dave" had also been a murderer...but I really didn't care too much, the dramatic logic had fallen apart anyway so it could be any reason or even something entirely else. I respect the craft behind this story, but the story itself left me entirely unmoved. And that's really bad...
