Thelma & Louise go on the run for killing a drunken prick who tried to rape Thelma in a bar parking lot; regardless of whether this despicable
lout deserved to died, what's shocking is that he's portrayed as the typical late - 20th century guy.
Most films of its ilk would establish the third wheel character of the current husband as
a lout deserving of a break - up, and while Ira is certainly a cad, Simon wisely never paints the character in a negative light, creating some interesting conflicts in the dynamic of the newly reunited partners in crime.
