Hopefully they got to see the swans. Like a fairytale, really. More seriously, what appeals to me about films like that is how 'real life' crime (as far as I can know) is not like a glamourised action movie. It is more haphazard, and contingent on personal decisions and people's character flaws. For me, the line 'I am sorry I called you an inanimate object. I was upset' is more real than any number of Godfather movies.
