Did anyone guess right first time?

I didn't guess it right the first time I watched it. However, I did guess it correctly on the subsequent second and third viewings. Unfortunately I got it wrong again on the fourth go.

I guessed it immediatly the english guy spoke. He was too nice, so my first thought was it's gotta be him.

I didn't guess right the first time. I thought the killer was the Narc. I did guess the second time though. I figured it was too obvious to be Jack. The whole reason Jack was there was to deceive the audience. They have characters like that in almost all whodunnits in that there is someone who you think would fit the profile of the perpetrator, yet it's too obvious to be that person. That's why I knew it wasn't Jack or Noah. It was too obvious to be either of them. I knew it wasn't the mountie either because he was an elderly guy and he was too old to be in the kind of physical shape to break through the ventilation system and what have you. Until it was actually revealed, I thought the killer wasn't Jaworski the Narc. I had my money on him the whole time because he liked to talk a lot of *beep* like Noah, too.

as soon as the brit spoke i knew it was him. i hate that about hollywood.

It was to easy. They opened the safe and gave everyone their weapons and the English guy had his.......No English "Bobby" in rehab in the USA would have a gun. Our Police don't carry weapons except our ARU.

We're gonna find out who's the Thing!

Yeah I got it right the first time when Jack came off with that line about getting strength from the things that hurt us. For about three seconds I took the line at face value, then realized Jack was being a bit too nice and sympathetic to Malone while everyone else walked around like they were ready to chew up and spit out the screws in the walls. That tipped me off to the old cliche: it's the least suspicious character who is the villian.

Another poster mentions the film reminded him of The Thing, and that again is right on. The final half hour or so is right out of that science fiction classic, and with a dose of The Shining thrown in for good measure (the black cop standing in for the black handyman in the King book.)

The gratuitous gore galore is a standard horror necessity today, whether you are making a horror film or a detective mystery. A more thoughtful approach would have not have been a bad idea. Movie makers have forgotten you can still make a great thriller without dumping a gallon of gore and blood over an actor and calling it a corpse.

Just watched it and got it straight away. We knew it was a white guy from the phone call early in the movie. Robert Patrick and "Jack" were too obvious. Tom Berenger and Kris Kristoferson crossed my mind but the English guy being nice was the giveaway to me.

At first I thought it was Stallone's character having a mental breakdown and doing it without realizing he was the killer. The things that pointed to the killer being the same person that killed his wife were just facts he knew about the case that he used in the murders.

But then when they started showing deaths and such it was obvious it wasn't him because he was in other places at the times those people were killed.
