... Many of us wondered about Mike's relationship with his children once they were old enough to understand who and what he was and how he attempted to estrange them from their mother. In that scene we learned the answer regarding Anthony.

Much of the movie, if it doesn't actually pretend, tries too hard to be meaningful. Sometimes with very tedious, tounge-in-cheek and throwaway dialogue that is nothing more than that 'wink & nod' to fans of the original two.
