Ladies and gents, for the love of plot. This is one sweet plot, so intense and suspenseful. I was very keen to see how jack will actually make it to court in time. It’s not every day you see a white man stick his neck out for a black guy worst a felon.
Edward Bunker was just the redemption Jack was looking for because he himself was guilty. This movie is example of “You can’t keep a good man down”
Lovely ending. Jack served his time in prison and came out redeemed and Edward opened a bakery as was his dream.
Anyone can change, that was the message here.
