Yeah, that's the part that lost me. There's really a lot of it that's just not entertaining. I don't think they ever gave the names of the wife and daughter, and I was almost afraid they'd do the same thing with Jamie Foxx's wife and daughter. And when I say only the black females make it out alive, I forgot to add that there's only seven female characters with speaking roles, two go unnamed, two die for following the rule of law, two are horribly traumatized because they accidentally watch a video of the horrific murder, and only one is left alive and mentally unscarred. It's really, REALLY bad on women's issues, which I saw coming, but my mom was the one who wanted to see it, so ... *shrug*
And there really are a couple of smart things going on with the plotting, but it is a bit like saying that at least the Elephant Man had a great personality. It's one or two good straws out of a haystack of fail.
