The ending
SPOILER - - - - - -
I didn't understand the ending when all the trucks went into the ice.
Was it just an accident or did the other side have it planned?
Strok knew the route (thanks to Anya ad maybe a bit from Harry)and sent bombers to hit the convoy on the ice.
"Fortunately, Ah keep mah feathers numbered for just such an emergency!"
The part I just didn't understand was... WHY on Earth did Harry (& Leo) go after the General's convoy? Did he somehow think he could have done anything to stop them? The only result was Leo got shot and the car went into the water.
Earlier in the story, when Harry found out Leo was double-crossing the General, I also wondered, WHY did Harry tell Leo, "Let's go see the general." What did he hope to accoplish? Did he think, perhaps, that if the General found out Leo had beenb lying to hm, that his entire scheme wouldn't work, and he might call it off? Instead, Leo double-crossed Harrya and escaped, and Harry almost got killed. It was only his steely-eyed nerve that managed to convince the General to let him go bring Leo back (before Leo-- allegedly-- would warn Stok).
But when Harry later on repeated his words to Leo, "Let's go see the General", after the convoy had taken off, I was shaking my head in disbelief. Now, had Harry been with Stok when he said it, it would have made more sense...
...and after all that, couldn't Stok & Anya have given Harry a ride back to town?
How did Harry get home? He was seemingly a hundred miles from nowhere without transportation, and trapped on a huge ice floe.
shareResponding to a three-year old post may be like talking into a dead phone...but Stok and Anya were headed back to the USSR, not Finland.
But the whole scene was just cinematic hooey, too neat and tidy. How did they find Harry so quickly? Weren't they fearful that some of Begley's troops may have survived to pick them off? I can't believe Harry was the only one left.
