"physical releases" hmmmm. What I recall was getting pissed towards the end when it appeared we were getting sucked into a "happy ending". I was about to say "What the fu...." to my partner just before she pushed him down the subway stairs.
shareAs for me, I sat there staring at my tv utterly speechless. I think a part of me still wanted some explanation as to why Phoebe's character was so f'd up.
shareI was reading and watching the movie ...real kicker ending.
I may have missed something but did she pick the cab driver at random or did she target him?
thanks,
I don't even know I watched the movie. It was on in the early AM when I should have been trying to sleep, and when it ended I was like 'WTF did I just watch?' Then I turned off my TV and went to bed, and every few minutes I would mutter to myself 'WTF?'
shareMy husband and I watched it. As it played we commented on how this was one movie you couldn't out guess. At the end we were shocked at the entire thing. We just kept saying that is the meanest woman in the entire world. We have not seen a worse villian (villianess) in a long time. Whoever wrote it maybe was trying to make the point that not all bombings that point to "Islamic Terrorists" are neccessarily actually from them. Talk about psycho bitch on steroids! They need to do a part 2 where someone gets extreme retribution on her ass!

I absolutely hated this film. What's more, I hated that I even wasted my time watching it. The only message I got from it was that a white woman can lie and shed tears and get away with anything, just like many did who caused black men to be lynched when they lied on them. There was NOTHING redeeming about this film. Even as far as filmmaking goes, it left a big question regarding motive.
SPOILER ALERT!!!!
There was no resolution or even an attempt at explaining her hatred toward the cab driver and the torture she caused him and his family. Teh overly dramatic "I hate me" scene did nothing to truly explain any of what transpired in this film. On top of that, the filmmakers decided to attempt to somehow make the poor cab driver less sympathetic because he lusted after his sister-in-law. Yet, this woman has caused nothing buy pain to him and his family, gets the sister-in-law and child deported, does nothing to help the brother and MURDERS the cab driver and the dog only to walk off smiling. Are you kidding me? There were no consequences for her actions.
I get the feeling that the filmmakers actually have a poor opinion of Arabs. The film was too farfetched to send some message about racially profiling them. This was a piece of garbage.
I was just shocked that she really threw the dog at the truck. I think...in some way, she reminded me of myself. I guess in light of everything that happened I became so interested in Middle Eastern men and...while my intent wasn't to ruin their lives, I could realte to Phoebe.

Not that I question it at all, I justified "once again" my departure decision from the country which I lived for a decade and loved so much mainly for allowing me to grow up to be the person that I am today. As a foreigner I couldn't live in a country where some people can actually relate to Phoebe... Right on.... Borders are in people's minds, and on your side of the ocean, it is being accentuated more and more... After enjoying a decade during which who I was, what I was capable of, what I felt, contributed, achieved were the underlying facts determining my existence in the eyes of the others, I couldn't stand my ethnicity being brought up every single day...I am not Middle-eastern but I wasn't All-American either, and it felt as if that was all that mattered... None of us chose the family, the country, the religion or the lack of it that we were born into... Yet some are willingly taking the pride in the titles that they have done nothing to bear and considering the lack of those titles in others as if it is the lack of a holy virtue...
