Good movie, but the ending ruined it


The acting in this movie was well done and the camera shots. The dialoge was ok and everything leading up to the end was great! But when the ending was drawing near you pretty much already knew what was going to happen. That I can live with but the director should have shedded alittle more light on simms and his bestfriend's past (forgot name). With the ending bringing you into full view of his friends successful plot, the room for revenge wasnt built up in time and it left you thinking "Damn thats it?" In fact it made me angry. The information for the backstab plot was there, it was just presented fully too late in my opinion.


Also what ever happen to ray? (The guy that ran) Did he ever get the money and leave? I dont seem to remember anything else about him later on towards the end.

Wasn't Ray the one sending the postcards Simms' buddy told him, just pay him off but I don't think he ever got the time.

I was disappointed also because you never get any clue (except he didn't answer the cell call in the beginning) or not clue enough that something's wrong with him and his buddy or that the buddy is in love with his wife.

The other deal was what he was up to in the first place was explained away too quickly. I got distracted by the phone at that point and paused but it didn't seem that they went into much explanation of what he was doing in the warehouse in the first place or how he was getting money, had something to do with the guy that got killed I think worked for a congressman and was giving him info on companies to invest in, but not well worked out

Oh, well had some good qualities, kept me wondering what was going to happen.'

i was wondering the same thing about ray. but on the DVD i got, the deleted scenes had emory talking to his attorney and he asked "so did you pay the guy?" and the attorney said yes. so i guess somewhere else in the final cut they implied that but i definitely missed it
