I learned that a movie can start with random scenes that don't seem to have anything to do with one another or the rest of the movie. And since that's such a great idea, you might as well throw in short snipets of other seemingly unrelated scenes throughout.
I learned that when a 12 year old gets caught stealing candy, after the cops beat the hell out of him he can get sent to prison for 2 years but for some unexplained reason actually stay in prison for 16.
I learned that giving your star a Tommy Wiseau haircut was an excellent choice because I wouldn't have been able to identify him in half the scenes without it. And it was still a struggle knowing who was who at times..
I learned that assault charges against you can be dropped in favor of just suing you for millions (when it was established earlier that you are 78k in debt) and all of your assets will be frozen as soon as the lawsuit is filed.
I learned that a movie that does almost nothing well can still get at least one thing right. In this case it was the music. It wasn't good music, but it did an excellent job of sprt of sounding like popular songs of the day without paying the pesky rights fees that the actual music would have cost.
I learned that drug dealers would rather pay a disbarred lawyer $100k per month for advice rather than spend that money on a corrupt lawyer who could actually represent them. And that drug dealers apparently don't have very good negotiating skills...I mean if I'm a lawyer who is $78k in debt who was willing to give advive to drug dealers, $10K a month would sound like a pretty good offer.
I was actually surprised that the main character was charged with assault. Most movies in which a protagonist savagely assaults a not good person just go with it. The good guy never gets in any trouble.
The $100,000 a month offer was because the drug dealers were looking for services a practicing lawyer couldn't provide. They wanted illegal stuff that wouldn't be protected by attorney-client privilege. It sounded like they wanted a lawyer to look through their operation and advise them on how they could better get away with crimes. That's a huge no-no. It's a major breach of legal ethics and probably illegal. It's Saul Goodman levels of dirty. A disbarred lawyer has all the knowledge but takes less of the risk.
I learned Lorenzo Lamas bounty tracking is light years better than Jeff Wincott Street Lawerying.
I learned... if it had been worked better, the idea of the childhood friend being sold out by the protagonist, going bad, but wanting to work with his friend again by dragging him down to his level so they could work together as a twisted sort of 'redemption arc' (in the mind of the antagonist), could have been interesting. This wasn't.
I learned Wincott was a bad guy, and it was kind of acknowledged he was corrupt. Just he wasn't as bad as his friend.
I learned the Deadly Prey opening was out of place in every way. Aside from the arrow was there a point to it?
I learned Gymakata was a better movie than this in every way. And that shouldn't be possible.
