Spoiler: Great movie, drama and acting. Writing for the ending...

Rating: 5/10 (10 October 2014)

Yes, Writing for the Ending SUCKED! My wife read the book and we went to the theater to watch the movie tonight. When I said, while walking out of the theater that I hated the ending she said she had the same reaction after reading the book. Seems to me with all the twists and turns, the ending could be that the husband could entrap her into dooming herself to a murder charge and trial, without a lot of invention and complexity.
I would have much preferred that to the flat and hanging ending the movie left me with. I turned to my wife and said "There's no way the book ended this way, right?". She said she had the same reaction but that our daughter (who gleams deeper meanings from books and "films") convinced her the ending was appropriate.
