My take is that Rebirth works and Kyle was being honest


His first time was insane but after a while he began to realize that he needed to break free and probably returned and years later he feels like a better man. I was confused until the credit video explained how Rebirth helped him.

Uh, no though, because that completely ignores how they stole all his money and coerced him into embezzling more money and doing his initial testimonial video under the threat of violence to his wife and child...

It was all a scam and once you've gotten to that point where they have your money, are threatening your family, have evidence of you being involved in weird and illegal activities at the initial rebirth, and have evidence that you are an accomplice in stealing money from your company and whatever else they put you up to later...you don't have any choice but to continue and participate in luring in more people because to do otherwise would mean you'd go down in flames with them.

I have to watch again to confirm but I think they did take his money but he got it back. I had multiple cards with fraudulent charges before they came out with the chip readers and there was no problem getting my money back since they could see someone from over a thousand miles away used my card when I was using it in my current city.

Uh...that's great, but this is a movie and there was no scene saying or implying in any way that he got his money back. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't, but your personal anecdote has no bearing on it at all and this is all entirely off the point anyway.

Ok. Let's say he got it all back. Nothing I said has changed.

and hey, speaking of those credits scenes. Remember where they went on to explain how their next step was going and recruiting every single member of the staff of the bank Kyle worked at and stole from for Rebirth? Probably just did that for the good feelings, right?

Also, in the credits promo vid, Kyle and his wife refer to Zack as "big brother", maybe as a tip-off to future "customers". Kyle also looks very uneasy getting that medal.

yeh, that was funny as hell. Kyle says hat before he was like my brother, but now he's like my "big brother" which would indicate, always watching him.
