I liked this movie but it ended so abruptly *spoilers*

I thought the point of the ending was fairly obvious.

Throughout the film, it's shown that Matt thinks his plan is perfectly sane and rational. Owen gradually distances himself from the idea, wanting nothing to do with it and scared that Matt might actually act.

When Owen sees Matt in the school, he runs, as he realises he's finally enacting his plan and is running around school shooting people - he does what any sane person would do in that situation, and runs.

But from Matt's point of view, he's hurt and confused that Owen would run. In his mind, it's okay to kill "the dirties" and he has no intention of hurting anyone else, least of all Owen - he's confused and can't understand why Owen, his best friend, would possibly run away from him. He can't see the insanity of the situation.

I thought it was the perfect ending and the perfect note to on which to end our insight into the two characters and their relationship.

"I don't think he would of killed Owen"

Would HAVE.

I read Catcher in the Rye in high school, the main character Holden Caufield has a thing against "phonies" and I guess serial killers kill what in their minds are "phonies".
