Who is the man at the beginning of the movie???


Uh, does anyone remember the beginning of the movie? Who was the man with the bag over his head that got hit by the car and how does it relate to the rest of the movie?????? I'm just really confused.

I had the exact same question. Weird.

Yea, this really needs to be explained.

I think he is just another victim from another kidnapping. The secuence serves as an starter, to prepare the audience for what is about to watch.

Of course, you are only aware of that at the end, when you see it is not related whatsoever with the story you just watched.

the man in the beginning IS THE FATHER !

I know it's strange but's it's a trick from the director to make us think it will finish like that and so at the end we're totally screwed. For me it's a wonderfull idea !

reply

It is definitely not the father. He speaks to a different person on the phone. However you are partly correct in that the director probably wanted us to think that this was the father which sets up the shocking ending. We're expecting the father to escape but instead in a sort of twist ending we see that the whole family is killed.

I thought he might have been a previous victim, but since one of the gang was conflicted about the atrocities, that doesn't add up, unless he had just joined.
