Ending makes no sense... (SPOILERS!!!)


This movie made perfect sense UNTIL the end when he sees that news about the envelope terrorism. It's RIDICULOUS it undermines everything the movie was showing and saying up til then. WTF is the point if that ending other then to try and add a surprise twist. Instead they ruined the movie. I will not be purchasing it or recomending it.

I agree that Terry is imagining the news. The TV is on golf and he thinks he hears a news bulletin that involves that specific acid and the envelopes.

Isn't Peter Krause great?

i agree with that ...but there's just some unexplained issues in the movie ..why wad gabe hassan take all the ATM envelopes ..and who broke into terry's house?

"If you watch the last scene where Terry walks up to the tv while the news bulletin is playing and you look at his eyes, you'll see the reflection of what's
really on the screen: a person swinging a golf club. He is, in fact,
hallucinating the "bulletin", to let him live with his self."

Yes, I agree with this. Terry is imagining that he did the right thing and that he was right all along. In reality he was wrong and nothing besides golf was on the TV.
