This movie is perhaps the best movie ever made that actually shows the devastating effect ilicit affairs can have on relationships. When a person loves their spouse as much as Dempsy did in this movie, only to find out that love and trust had been betrayed, well...you saw what happened. This movie is very true-to-life. More often than not, betrayal of one's love can lead to suicide and even murder. I do have some questions about the movie, and anyone out there who can clear me up on this, i appreciate it. First of all, what was the purpose of Dempsy "pretending" to commit suicide in front of the open window? I'm assuming this was done intentionally to draw the attention of the next door neighbor lady, but I'm not quite sure the purpose of it. Secondly, remember when they were at Gail's surprise party and Dempsy's mom was sitting on the steps next to Gail? The mom said "Dempsy has been planning this party for months. It's perfect." Then Gail replies, "everything Dempsy DOES is perfect." What exactly was she implying with that statement? I found myself saying, "everything except SEX." Of course, I could be wrong. Another thing too: I can see why they went to Mexico to get the guns with silencers but I don't understand why Nick had to get a fake drivers license. Allen, the other detective, eventually discovers the fake drivers license with Nick's picture but a different name. I fail to see why the fake license was necessary. Cuold it have something to do with the rental car they rented? Another thing too - we see at the very beginning that Dempsey is a very 'detailed" person, with the business about the rookie cop's badge being missing. That in mind, i think they should have left out the part where Dempsey stood up to shoot his brother. Someone like him would never have done that. It caused him some trouble too, forcing him to come up with the story about throwing the paperweight at Nick. All in all, its a very good movie and the sex scenes really "riled me up" - especially when they were in the shower while Dempsey was at the hospital, paralyzed. That, plus the fact that Gail's attitude was so selfish. At least Nick DID have respect for his brother, to some degree, but everything Gail said and did was self-centered. Poor Demps was paralyzed and all she could think about is her having to "push a wheelchair the rest of her life." Boy, I hope I never marry someone like that!
