It’s the first time I’ve ever watched this film and one thing I took away from it has to be the family dynamic.

They have switched faces, so the characters switch, but there is the moment when the daughter is protected from her aggressive boyfriend, as he is ripped out of the car. Asked does she have protection for which she wasn’t sure where he was going until she is given a knife.

Later in the film protecting the young boy from all the gun fire. Again there is a sense of duty to protect the children.

Not your family, but still protecting and making sure family is safe regardless of the first thought of destroying each others family a maternal instinct seemed to take effect on each enemies family. Something poetic about that.

Regardless to the beginning of the movie, I honestly believe the bad guy does have some guilt in his heart and this reversal of protecting each others family. I do find this an interesting concept and not really explored in any other movie I know of.

I would love it if anyone can tell me another movie where a bad guy protects the innocent. Is this a more anti hero aspect? The concept of swapping roles, from pure evil to pure good does sound like a great storyline. Maybe if anyone reads this can tell me a good movie to watch from these aspects.
