The thing that got me the most is what kind of credibility would Chris have riding a kids BMX bike as a sole source of transportation?
The fact that he would gain the trust and respect of a 16 yr old teenage girl and actually meet her and do things with her together was so unrealistic while on his bike. Hildy even went with him while she had a real normal sized bike and they got drunk at his brothers party. Wouldn't happen. It was portrayed in the movie to be doing this as
Lastly, a woman like Carol who has credibility in a small town would never be caught chumming and developing a deep relationship with a 40 yr old ex con riding around on a kids bike. Even if she did help him in prison feelings would would be subdued to maintan her credibility in the community.
Movie moved at a snails pace and went nowhere.
