bad ending (spoiler)


I was going to give this a 7 or 8 until I saw the end. Comeon. All that to erase her file. Surely if she came anywhere near enemy agents they would remember her and shoot on site. It would have been much better had he stole some info about anything else, better mind control techniques even. Digicorp would surely have her on a printout of the 10 most wanted or something. Coulnt they have just disappeared on a small island instead of going thru all that, but then no movie of course.

I would still give this movie a 7-- cos I liked the "idea" of the ending, just not the way it was handled....


Thinking back, I realized Rita Foster didn't really make contact with anyone but Jack Thursby-- so erasing her files sort of makes sense, since there are probably very few Digicorp or Sunway people (besides Finster & Calloway)actually knows who she is.... Especially she was the only link to Sebastien Rooks and Sebastien Rooks wanted to "keep" her.

But since the data in the vault had to have come from outside the vault... I hope/guess all outside knowledge of Rita Foster was already "erased"? Just a line or two of dialog to explain this would be nice-- especially since this was sprung on the audience right at the end by Sebastien Rooks.


I mean, aside from the lack of "closure" for Morgan Sullivan-- who has been our viewpoint character throughout most of the movie-- we just don't know Sebastien Rooks well enough to understand or accept why he does the things he does.


If you care enough to go around telling people you don't care... you obviously care.
