“I think this movie is made more interesting if the facts about Justin Long’s character are not confirmed in the bar scene. If there’s ambiguity about what kind of guy he is, that shooting feels like it could be another “wrong place, wrong time” or could be indicative of his previous acts, and the ending goes much harder.
That said, that tape measure shit was hilarious. Best part, the guy is so clueless, so focused on what’s going on in his life that he’s not even concerned with anything else, like a goddamn cave underneath his house with a bloody mattress and video camera.”
