It's an average of 38,000 52% are Sue Is Sides So let's say 19,000 (for easy math) And 90% of those 19,000 are gang related. Are you in a gang? Or affiliated with one? That leaves 1900. And 90% of those are when criminals get shot by either a homeowner or the cops. That leaves 190. (And thats being generous) 190. In a country with 400 million guns. In a country with 350 million people. More people break their neck falling off the bed or in the shower each year. More people drown in a 5 gallon bucket each year.

Did his wife and daughter deserve what she did? Hell no. When I saw Gloria Trillo (one of Tony's affairs if you haven't seen the show) in The Sopranos she reminded me of this movie, particularly the scene where she takes Carmella home while her car is in the shop and drives in a way that scares Carmela on the way home. Of course, Carmella was silently enabling Tony for most of the series, so she's a little different than Beth in this movie.

There would be no light way to say no to this. He shouldn't have slept with her, much better. But remember, she misled him more than he did.

'We're two adults.' she goes on. He should have gone home, okay, but both were wrong. However, he didn't mislead her. He told her he was married from the start. She misled him. It was a fun weekend, that was all. It was lust and craziness; she didn't love him. She would have displayed psychotic behaviour even if he was single.

The fact that Michael Douglas has always been either an antagonist or an unsympathetic protagonist, makes his performance here (to the extent that he’s acting and not just being himself) even more believable. You end up hating his character for what he did to his mistress, and for the hell he puts his family through. Almost as much as you hate Gordon Gecko in Wall Street, or the movie wherein he hires Viggo Mortensen’s character to murder his wife, played by Gweneth Paltrow. And about the same as in The Game.

All she wants is for him to acknowledge the consequences of his actions. He’s by no means a victim. He cheated on his wife while being happily married and having a daughter. All because he was bored on a weekend.

@@T1000skynetforever Oh I never said he was a victim, he did more than cheating, he made one bad decision after another but he didn't treat her like you described it. But it did led to a dangerous person coming into not just Dan but his wife and daugher's life. Her constant calls to his office and home and following him tells me that she is not going to do this child raising by herself. And before they started their romance they had a conversation in a restaurant about being discreet, so it looked like they were on the same page. Dan is guilty but Alex is not a victim to me.

But most of you womens still live with pink sunglasses on your eyes you don't wanna see reality, if mens ever respected us they wouldn't do things that they're still doing and putting nose in our lives, decisions and other things that's a sad truth...

She did crazy things to them like stalk them, make up crazy allegations, she once tracked down a guys mum on social media and joined her yoga class just to befriend her to get revenge on him. The list goes on. I hadn't thought about that girl in such a long time and this movie reminded me of her so much it gave me the chills
