There are so many people that complain about the coincidences of the characters all being connected in some way. Especially the coincidence of Matt Dillon running into Thandie Newton twice.One of the most ridiculous complaints I can think of. How else do you expect to have a movie? I guess Matt Dillon could've run into a different black woman the second time, but then the movie isn't nearly as interesting. And if you actually think of the area he patrols, and the reason why Thandie happened to be back in that neighborhood, and the reason she got into the accident, it actually is all believable, all stemming from the events from the day before.Relax and enjoy the movie._________________________The problem is that the movie got built up so much that people expect an unparalleled movie and go into it looking to tear it apart. I saw it in the theater having no idea what it was about, and I liked it. Stop all the pretentiousness of over-judging movies.
