\Why did Jim choose to die?


Did he just give up on life overall or did he feel that his
time had come? And why didn't Mike either call 911 for an
ambulance or drive his friend to the nearest hospital? '
Just caught this movie recently for the first time and
I really enjoyed it since am a big fan of director David Ayer's
work. Plus enjoyed seeing Samantha Becker again after
remembering her in "Training Day."

Because you don't call 911 when u got a trunk full of drugs

He was critically wounded, with a trunk full of drugs and had just killed a slew of people in a gunfight.

He couldn't go to hospital, didn't want to go to prison and didn't want to drag his friend any further down with him.

Due to the lack of moderators, trolls can ruin the IMDB message boards. Don't feed them.

Alright and I had forgotten about the drugs in the trunk.

He thought he was paralyzed. Didn't want to live that way.

He earlier referenced this when he talked about his buddy who got his arms/legs blown off. He lived, but didn't want to.

Stupid ending, because he might not have actually been paralyzed permanently.

And because the drugs and guns could've been tossed before the ambulance got there.

Why do idiots put spoilers in subject headings?

Are they self-centered, entitled losers?
