I showed this to my wife last weekend. Every ten minutes she'd point and say, "I've seen him before!"
She rooted for the badguys because they just wanted to escape. She really liked Cyrus because he was realistic about issues, and he really hates rapists (interestingly, when Cyrus notices an unconscious Johnny 23 handcuffed, he doesn't care enough to inquire, or release him). She wanted the badguys to get away in the end.
She was especially delighted with the ending...
"Yay! He got away! I liked him a lot!"
"The guy who murdered all of those kids?"
"... Yes."
