When he was 'racing the bus'. He did it because the bus driver started deliberately speeding up, trying to cut him off from talking to his cousin. Thats why he sped up so he could see him and said 'YEAH'.
Really was just to get the bus driver’s face just in case something happened. Terry has a photographic memory that’s only heightened by him being ex marines. He has a case already for what the cops did to him now he just has to be able to prove it & identify anyone involved in the corruption. This is the point where he starts putting all the pieces together so in the event he has to go to court he’ll be straight. I’m pretty sure he probably got the tag number of the bus as well locked in memory. Can’t really tell by the end of the movie but I’m assuming he actually did go to court cause he got the thingy out the police car
Ending was disappointing, just cause I wanted more but this was a decent film. Was at the edge of my sofa the whole time. Learned two acronyms in the process 😂 Too much combat would have been Hollywood. This was more true to life.
The ending is like that, as it's purposely made because the creator had intentions to be a two-part film, so that's why the ending is like that. The film is great, good performances, directing, cinematography, writing, storytelling, great film.
I disagree. The ending helps set up a potential sequel. Rather than just having a kinda 'set in stone' ending that leaves no room for anything else to come. I know not every film needs a sequel, but this might be my new favourite film, so i sure as hell would like to see them atleast try.
I believe the ending is the way it is so there can be a sequel. Thats usually how it works when they do endings like that. Whether or not we get one is depending on a bunch of things. Mainly how well the film did.
@ i hope I’m wrong because I’d love to see more of this. I think they have some story potential where they can make the corruption of this particular town be the tip of the iceberg. The police chief mentioned they outsource their arsenal to other police forces. Maybe there’s someone else these corrupt officers answer too.
I wish it hadn't veered off into copaganda at the end and they're all "actually, most of the cops were good. even the cop who started it all by running him off the road and stealing his money? good guy all along. and sims just had to convince the other cops that only the chief was bad". I also really wanna see Jack Reacher bump into Terry Richmond in S3.
Eh I wouldn't say it's copaganda at all. Just because most of them chose to do the right thing at the end doesn't mean it's painting them out to be saints. They just weren't willing to murder 3 people, one of which was their coworker
@@SleepyWaffles idk if you ask me, "the cops still did the right thing at the end of the day" when you've spent the whole movie showing they're corrupt pieces of shit is copaganda.
@ISavant agree to disagree. I'd say copaganda would be a movie that makes cops look like great people and encourages one to either look up to them or become one. This whole movie shows them being corrupt, bad people. The end of the movie doesn't really absolve them of their previous corruption. It just showed that they had a limit to what they were willing to do.

@itsfaith1403 nah, he definitely did it specifically just to show the driver he could do it. Hence, the 'YEAH' while looking him in the eyes
Thanks for putting this one on my radar. Just watched it with my dad, and he didn’t fall asleep - Dad approved 👍🏽😆

My only complaint was that i wish this movie was maybe 10-15 minutes longer to flesh out the ending. Other then that it was damn near perfect

@ ehh. Jeremy Saulnier has never been a sequel kinda movie director and all of his films are pretty well acclaimed
@BIGxBOSSxx1 i feel like i remember something about him wanting to do a sequel before the film even fully released. Could be wrong.

I normally wouldn't pick this genre to watch but watching it with ya, my enjoyment is to the max!
Thanks, Derek! ⚖ I loved it.
you should check out Jeremy Saulnier's other movies too, especially Blue Ruin and Green Room
Should Kiss?! Why?
The ending was pretty meh.

@@SleepyWaffles only because they'd just watched their boss show he was happy to kill them if they didn't do what he said.
@ISavant yeah exactly. Their reasons for doing the right thing weren't because cops are great people or anything. I wouldn't call that copaganda
