No Sudden Move

In the end, the chaos surrounding the stolen documents leads to multiple betrayals and deaths. Ronald Russo is killed for his affair with Capelli’s wife, Vanessa, who also attempts to escape with the stolen money but is stopped by a cop and the money is recovered. Curt Goynes, having negotiated a deal to leave Detroit with a clean slate, manages to escape to Kansas City, leaving behind the dangerous game he was caught in. Meanwhile, Mike Lowen, the powerful figure behind the theft of the blueprints, gets his money back with extra interest, securing his control over the classified documents. The plot’s center, Matt Wertz, ultimately ends up empty-handed, having been too frightened to follow through with his plan of stealing the documents himself, and his ambitions are left unrealized. The film’s conclusion emphasizes how greed, betrayal, and survival manipulate everyone involved—Ronald’s death, Vanessa’s failed escape, and Curt’s departure—all echo the film’s message that in this tangled web of crime and deception, only the cunning and fortunate manage to get away clean. The stolen documents, which reveal a new exhaust blueprint and symbolize the larger corruption in the industry, serve as the film’s ultimate symbol of the unseen but immense power that controls the characters’ fates. In this chaos, the story closes with Curt Goynes escaping, Ronal Russo dead, and the blueprints and money in the hands of the powerful. The ending underscores the harsh reality that in a world driven by greed and deception, few can truly win, and the cycle of betrayal continues unabated.}
