I usually can predict part or all of a movie like this. Not this time. Everything I tried to predict was wrong; do you think the screenwriter had this as a primary goal? Early on it looked like Oz and Jill together for sure, but she ends up rotten and greedy and with Jimmie. I had her tagged from the start as a good girl who would turn out to an undercover cop. Her excitement at meeting "role-model" Jimmie was surely just a good undercover act. I had Jimmie's wife Cynthia figured as a bitch, and she turned out okay and with Oz. In fact, all the wrong people ended up happy at the end, with no justice against evil, an unusual ending for a movie. Jimmie is a rotten mass hitman with no feelings for anyone, and parts friends with the "good guy" Oz. The only rotten person who got what they deserved was Oz's wife Sophie. Other than unpredictable, a fun movie to watch, comedic drama.

Whe share the same idea about the movie. Jimmie is the usual anti-hero, like Leonardo Pataca (Memrias de um Sargento de Milcias, a classic brazilian book)
the and both of then has an ending similar, the evil wins the good, and every rotten persons do well. The "good guy" was silly, and the "bad guy" smart, but the "good guy" has so many persons who take care of him, that he "win" at the end.
