    Jesus now that I’m thinking about it, Denzel Washington was in a movie about doing similar shit in like 2004, how has this not been the thing that took root in the minds of Americas young men.

      I was actually thinking about that movie as I typed my last response haha. John Q, I believe. I remember it as a decent movie at least.

        I remember being a pretentious film minor and turning my nose up at it as heavy handed. Watched it again in like ‘11 I think. Actually a really good play on the heist movie with a real world point. And Denzel cooks like he always do
