i watched this movie for the second time the other night, and i really like it.

upon reading the "blurb" on the back of the DVD case, it mentions "a twist you'll never see coming".

i dont really remember any twist, or being surprised in any major way.

was just wondering if someone could tell me what they might mean.

cheers.

when he took the car with the money and ran.

Yeah, I was wondering that too. Before watching it, I saw the whole thing about it having a "twist you'll never see coming", and I was waiting for that the whole film. When it ended, I was like... er... what twist?

Sorry, Maury. I'm not a gymnast.

Exactly what the blurb said. You didn't see it coming.

Anyway, twists usually came in the third act. IMO the twist is when Chris comes up with the plan to rescue Lewis and kill the bad guys.

In my opinion there was no real twist.
Sometimes the DVD blurbs are a bit dumb because they are trying to sell the movie instead of just telling you what it is. A bit like how trailers can be dumb and ruin movies

What you just read was probably a bit of a rant. Sorry

he tricked gary and the others and remembered.

^^ I thought that was the twist too that he remembered.

IMDB users need to take a chill pill and stop getting so angry you have more than one feeling!

The twist was that the wounded guy who can't even make a bowl of spaghettios manages to take down two criminals.

That's what I thought.

i thought the huge twist was that gary was the hockey player that chris slashed.

another thread mentioned that the twist might have been the fact that the robbery was a decoy, that the real reason behind everything was gary's revenge. apparently his dad was in the other vehicle that crashed, which is the old man we see wandering into the room.

Nothing is more reliable than a man whose loyalties can be bought with hard cash.

Reading other entries the concensus seems to be that the twist was that in the car/combine crash it was gary's father who was the driver of the stalled harvester and that he was crippled as a result. He was the old guy shuffling into the room on a frame earlier in the film when gary was initiating Chris into the gand and getting Luvlee (what a ridiculous name!) to seduce him!
