Good movie bad ending

Rating: 7/10 (20 January 2010)

I would have given this movie a 9 had i not watched the last 15-20 minutes of the movie.
Movie started off by rushing through the incidents that took place that lead to the present. In away this was a good thing for me to have the sad boring stuff out of the way to make way for the good stuff.
I really liked the way the movie built up its plot. And was done in a way that the audience would really feel for the bad guy. So every time Clyde kills someone, you tend to feel somewhat satisfied.
However, towards the ending, all of a sudden the movie didn't look so smart as it started off. What seemed to be this brilliant plan that was plotted by a brilliant tactician over 10 years turned out to be something that was loosely put together and only got this far because he was lucky enough to not get caught. The whole brilliance of the movie was taken away in the end by revealing secrets which weren't that great, and poor direction at the end in hopes of making a dramatic effect.
However despite the poorly done disappointing 15 minutes in the end, the movie was good. it was entertaining. and was unpredictable. It keeps you at the edge of your seat. and you keep thinking 'oh man this guy is great!'. if you stop watching the movie from the point where nick tallies up the expenses, and leave the remaining for your imagination, you'd get a 10+ movie. But if you finish watching it, you will feel cheated!
