In my opinion the filmmakers are morally reprehensible and Ian Barnes should be vilified.
While I initially enjoyed the film, I quickly realized the basic premise of this film is, "Arson is fun".
As a bunny owner the portion of the film describing the pet rabbit screaming as it burns is horrifying. That alone makes the finale, where the protagonists smile after they started yet another fire, a morally objectionable outcome.
Imagine some impressionable twelve year-old getting their hands on this film, lighter in hand. The viewpoint of the film is that arson is justified when one is mistreated.
