I don't understand... *MAJOR SPOILERS*

No one Replys because everyone is as just as confused as we are.
I'm with you Driveshaft. After the so called "Twist" when Nim shoots the antagonist, everything went downhill from there.

Most of the Acting was very good, but some parts wasn't good IMO.
I believe half the scenes with Nim weren't convincing enough and hard to understand her on some lines. She lost me a few times

When they revealed the main antogonist's face, I believe I am suppose to know him. (And if i wasn't, then removing his mask dramatically was a bad choice IMO.)
If I were suppose to know him, then the director did not do a good job for me to remember him. (Maybe he was one of those people in the meeting, I'm not sure. I feel i shouldn't have to go back to find out for it be a really good film, Its the directors job to make things make sense in times like that.

But the main problem this film had, was as Driveshaft stated. The movie left us with to many questions. And the answers to those questions, would probably make 0 sense. The most annoying part of this ending to me was...the last 30 seconds. "wtf movie"
I couldn't tell if 'they' were praising a homeless man, or if 'they' realized he was the tortured Victim for more then a month. And if he was, why the hell were they smiling and what were they smiling at. If it was suppose to be symbolic, then I don't get it. Would of been better if they took him to a hospital right away. (would be boring, but at least it would of made sense)


Do not get me wrong, I was really enjoying the film, my first film to watch in my Free Trial of Netflix streaming threw my Xbox360. Pretty good and had me at the edge of my seat. The only problems were the ones stated in my opinion.
If anyone has an explanation to this ending, I am very curios.

it was a prosthetic eye not somebody else's.

she took his eye out cuz she said she believed in everything they were doing.

it was always their intention to let him go. to change a rich man u take his money and let him be poor not take his money and kill him.

And yes they all recognized him from the internet

I'm a lead farmer, *beep*

I don't get why Nim bothered lying about caring, what did that do for her? She was obviously lying to him the whole time when she was saying she wants to help him...blah, blah, blah...because then she continues to have his eye spooned out. But what was the point of this, why did she bother putting on this caring act, and was everyone in on it, did they all know she was acting like this?

I hide behind a mask

I think the reason she put ont he caring act was to essentially keep him sane, and to keep him slightly optimistic about escaping, rather than giving up entirely. What good would it be for their audience to watch somone get torchered who has no hope for the afterwards.
Also, she probably shot the main antagonist because once his face was shown, she knew it would only be a matter of time before authorities moved in on their operation. She just killed the one person the police would have been able to use to track the rest of the team down after they all left with the message, and loot.

As she said earlier in the film, she believed in the cause but not the methods. She saw the guy losing his cool and knew he would have killed the other guy. She shot him and then semingly saved one of his eyes.


Or something. lol

GREAT thread. Read and appreciated all posts (except the usual one from therefwhatever).

I really enjoyed the entire movie. I read many movie boards and read about all these guys who enjoy seeing women's breasts or if they get naked - and that's all they seem to care about.

I, like many men, appreciate sexy women, and understand the lure of sex appeal. But not watching porno movies, I don't care about topless, showing breasts, or whathaveyou.

With that said, Nim, the Emma Catherwood character, was sexy. Sexy face. And it being partially masked for most of the movie, made it that much more alluring.

So I feel her role was sex appeal. A bit of a tease, ultimately screwing him in the end by allowing the doc guy to remove one eye.

Guess that's why I thought this movie had many more layers than lots of the haters thought.

With that said, agreed that when "blackbeard" (who actually looked better with the mask on lol) was unmasked, it wasn't that we were supposed to recognize him, but that his face was televised (if that's the right word) on the Internet.

He even said "cut the camera" quickly, right? To drive home that point.

And as for why did they "do" what they did? meaning go through with the eye removing and ultimately release him

It was all about what the public wanted. ALL about it.

Why am I using spoilers indiscriminately here? lol

Okay, did I answer everything to the best of my ability here?

Oh, and why no one else is talking about the ending? Because so many others are too busy acting cool and bashing this totally kick ass (unlike that comedy Kick Ass which was actually Kick Crap, lol) movie.

And no, I have nothing to do with this movie. I JUST saw it in 2011.

Oh yeah, almost forgot. What was the dealio with the fake eye put in place of his real eye? I feel it was for TRUE shock value. When he revealed the first eye, you didn't realize it was removed, right? As we saw a pupil. It wasn't until he revealed the second eye that we realized it. Just for visceral shock value - like most of the movie. Mission accomplished (unlike when Bushy said it).
