Gas station scene
Really?........really?
sharecare to elaborate or do you prefer being impossibly vague/cryptic?
shareNo it wasn't the satellite part. Now don't get me wrong I was thoroughly enjoying the movie before this scene and I enjoyed it all afterwards.
I just didn't believe that with two grown available they would find a reason to leave the boy all alone in the van..at at gas station of all places.
this is nit picking i know, i thought the movie was very good otherwise.
renton, no, i agree w/ you (i just didn't know what part of the scene you were referring to. LOL). i think the fact Shannon's character just "HAD" to make that phone at that moment, thereby leaving the boy alone in the van, (even though dad's face was plastered over every tv due to the AMBER alert!) was ridiculous.

Yup. Agreed.
Also, I kept waiting for Roy (Shannon) to do something to change his appearance. I realize they were on the run, but they were hiding out during daylight hours, so he had plenty of time to work on it. share
Eh, to be play devil's advocate: The kid seemed to be very agreeable and willing to do exactly as his dad told him up to that point.
I think this is almost a 'coming of age' situation. The boy had been told not to move, but his true nature overrode what he knew was right and he headed out. The kid was trying to understand what he was.
I think this was probably the first time the kid had done anything like this, which is why it took Lucas and Roy by surprise.
