The boy gave the most compelling answer. He’s a mature young man.

He went home.

The kid had the most compelling answer

I just finished the movie and really enjoyed it. I took something totally different from it but I see what they are talking about.

Underrated film. a true gem.

I found the lack of closure in this film very unsatisfactory. I could think of a few different endings 1) One of Darius's dads kills the other one and Darius kills the survivor 2) Darius tries to stop his Dad's from fighting and they accidentally kill him and are united in grief. 3) Darius has had enough of this bullshit and kills them both 4) Malcolm is about to kill Porter exactly like the guy in the bar. Monica reaches the scene. Darius tries to stop Malcolm but he's rabid. Monica tells Malcolm to stop but he won't. Reality sets in that Malcolm is a monster and Porter was telling the truth about him. Monica shoots him. The police come and Porter does the selfless thing for his son and takes the blame so Darius can be with his mother. It is a very human story but not having Monica in the end scene meant it was missing perhaps the most positive influence in Darius's life.
