Realistic for the daughter to care about the bad guys?
Most probably wouldn't.
shareShe didn't want to adopt the bad guys, she just didn't want to see them dead.

It's meant to be thematic, not realistic.
"This life's hard, man, but it's harder if you're stupid!"
no especially since one was chasing and shooting at her
shareGirls love the bad boys.

>Hey there friends, naive guy here, anyone know if a naive 10 year old girl would want to watch a man get killed by a man she respects, even though others' lives may depend on it?
Yes it's realistic.
Communism was just a Red herring!
While it might be realistic that a 10 year old kid wouldn't want to watch a man get killed, it felt like a bad way to get another twist into the plot imho. All the portrayals of the children seemed kind of odd to me anyway. In a strange way, they acted too mature to me (I mean, the two detectives spread mayhem & the kids involved don't really look like they're all too scared [unless it's for plot purpose].

There's only one kid in the movie, and she is responsible for her father before her father is responsible for her. So the portrayal of "children" is nonexistent, rather the portrayal of a single character is accurate.

Well, there was the daughter as you wrote. Then there was the daughter's friend (can't remember her name). Then there was this kid on the bicycle (I don't know at what age the term "kid" or "child" legally or colloquially is not usable anymore in the US). Then there was this kid right at the start who covered up the porn star's body.
But yes, the point I was making was just about one kid - the one you were talking about as well, you're right. Still, I found it rather strangely portrayed and I wouldn't describe it as accurate. But the point I was actually trying to make (and I just figured it out now) was that I was disappointed by the script. It seemed too constructed to me & now I'm off topic so I'd rather shut it.

I agree, the script had some major flaws, the end, for instance where it's all "big corporations win" despite all the crime and *beep* pissed me off.

She wasn't concern about the John Boy or Blue Face. She doesn't want Healy, whom she cares about to become the bad guy.
shareYea I don't think a real 10 yo girl would care so much. I would imagine a 10 yo to go into a corner and cower or something at the idea of someone about to die. But going all like "no, you will not kill that man" didn't seem realistic.
This is moreso applicable to when Crowe is about to kill John Boy rather than Blue-Face. This contract killer came into her home and was ready to kill her and even asked her friend Jessica to help not to mention he's tried to kill her father and Crowe at every opportunity and he was successful in killing Amelia?!
I think I wasn't a fan of this movie mostly because of these two scenes, but also when the black chick could have and should have killed Crowe/Gosling in the projection room rather than screw around. There was no reason for her to stall and after having the coffee thrown on her, a normal person in that situation would have knocked that lil girl out with the butt of the gun.
There were more issues for me, but that alone was enough for me.
I thought she was pretty smart.
