Can anyone explain the ending? I don't get it.

Nine posts in other threads since I asked this. I guess the ending made as much sense to other people as it did to me.

I'm a little stumped by that ending too, it seemed like a dream sequence from when the cops tied him to the bumper to the hijacking of the reverend and his wife?.

Yeah, the end made no sense.
Probably PC-propaganda, "Da White man be terrorizing even a sweet innocent old Afro-American couple!"

It was Cage being Bogart. Maybe a dream as he was dying. Terrible movie.

I loved the movie, just didn't like or understand the ending. I read some reviews for the book this movie was based on and some people said it had a "non-ending." I wonder if the book had the same ending?

I'm guessing the last scene he was in like purgatory (dead) and that was his chance for redemption or something.

In the movie he at many times talked about being compared with Humphrey Bogart in a way that it seemed like that is who he wanted to be, and in the last scene the african american couple comments on him being 'just like that guy and looking a bit like him too (bogart)' so I guess he got the chance to sort of become Cagney in his death/purgatory.

You probably notice that he speaks quite differently from the other scenes in the film, old school film noir bogart style.
