Such a wasted opportunity, we could have had a Brooklyn wise cracking comic relief character for the rest of the film.
Only dream I ever have is it the surface of the Sun. Every time I shut my eyes it's always the same.

Absolutely. Best 2 minute part character ever. And agree with executing Dakota too. what an annoying little girl. Older kid wasn't better. Was he insane?

Dakota is why the movie is great.

I agree. They should've let him get in the van and then thrown annoying Dakota Fanning out of the car window. The movie would've been so much more enjoyable.

That wasn't Brooklyn. In real life it was Bayonne, NJ. It didn't say otherwise in the movie, AIR.
They should have replaced Robby with him, as a bearable foil for Ray.

The story is king.
