The worst ending to the best movie.

Rating: 9/10 (28 January 1999)

I was over-awed by the quality of this movie. The cinematography was stupendous; e.g., the long shot when Neil kills the team's driver and the flash of the gun is momentarily visible. I was totally drawn into the action and plot. The characters were absolutely real.
In the context of Neil's vow to "...not have anything in your life you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds..." I assumed throughout the movie that he would break it for the sake of Eady. It turned out in the end, however, that he could not walk away from his thirst for revenge against Van Zant.
The ending, though, would have been ridiculous tagged onto a B movie. I simply did not buy those two guys running onto the runway at LAX. It was very disappointing.
