I really enjoyed this film, but I did feel that this film also had some problems. I thought the four main women had incredible chemistry there was no doubt that they had been friends for years before we first are introduced to them. This was impressive to me because the establishment of their friendship allows for decisions made later in the film to make sense. One of my problems with the film is the four characters’ decisions near the end of the film. When left in a dire situation not knowing what their next move should be one of the characters suggests that the only way out of their situation is to rob another bank. Why would that be your only option? If anything, that only puts them more at risk. I did understand that each of the woman were in dire need of that money, but I thought that there had to be another way for them to live and be happy. Also why did almost all of the women have to die? I know going to prison is bad, but do not just give your life up like that. Those were the big problems I had. The rest of the film was really entertaining for the most part. I did think the film went on a little too long, but the ride to the end was engaging. I could see myself rewatching in the future.
