Good acting, good progress...... bad ending

Rating: 2/10 (5 May 2008)

The only thing that saves this movie was the good acting. The end is so bad and unbelievable. I am really surprised that all that good work ends in such a mess. Makes you feel robbed of the journey that is well carried out by Bale, Crowe and the others. I never saw the original and well, this just didn't go down well in the end. I would not recommend it to anyone. I'd rather recommend NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, though I am no Coen Bros fan. But then again, I guess there is a certain tendency in films being made these days (remakes or not) to really go downhill in the end. Perhaps time and writer's block at the end just makes them all pull down the curtains in anyway possible without thinking how it will sink with the audience. I simply can't understand why such an ending??? Perhaps, the cast and crew are playing some sort of joke by building interest, pulling us along and then laughing at us when we go "HUH?" "WHAT THE..." "IS THAT IT??" "I SAT THROUGH 2 HOURS TO GET TO THIS?!?" Waste of good talents (Love Crowe and looking at Bale closely) that carried this film and good direction.
