The moral ambiguity of the ending was one of my favorite parts TBH. The bigger cop out would have been to paint them as purely good or evil subjects. It allowed the audience to choose who they sympathized with as opposed to being told who to sympathize with.
It also showed that both of the characters were just men with their own motivations and interpretations of what occurred. Pine's character wasn't some evil caricature, but still was a bit arrogant and proud of what he had done, while Bridges' character wasn't some holier-than-thou agent of justice; he wanted murder and vengeance.

How can you argue that Chris Pine's character wasn't evil? He knew what he was doing was wrong and his actions led to 4 people getting killed. Why? Because he was a fricking selfish piece of shite. Sure, he wasn't doing it for personal gain. But his seamen stains were so special that they deserve to be rich. BS.

Wasn't that hard of a choice.
Why would anyone sympathize with a cop or the banks?
Money is insured...he wasn't taking money out of the pocket of his neighbors.
