Aside from the trite and overused plot theme of a corrupt parole officer forcing an parolee into illegal activity, this movie didn't provide an answer for the reason everybody was killed. First, all Jimmy would've had to do is contact the FBI instead of acquiescing to his PO's demands...end of problem and he would've been a hero. Second, the ending was most unsatisfying. Tommy (if he lived) would be growing up without a Dad, and Annie would be spending her final days alone with no one to care for her since Jimmy had to go off on his quest. But the biggest flaw is that the plot never answered the question of what happened to the half-million dollars. Hello!!! - this was the reason all these people were killed! Watch at your own peril, but you'll be pretty dissatisfied when it's over.
