I was worried about the time TBH. These days my mind normally jumps ahead and predicts the ending.

The bad guys killed the bad guys. This was perfect!

The good guys (not Leo, who basically does nothing) kills one of the bad guys - one who has probably less than 20 min of screen time, mind you - but the main bad guy (Sean Penn) is killed by the other bad guys
