Yet another lazy ending

Rating: 6/10 (6 November 2014)

Having recently watched Gone Girl and been disappointed by that ending I was hoping for a good ending this time. Unfortunately it wasn't to be.
I really enjoyed this film right up until the end. Gyllenhaal's character was disturbingly likable. He wasn't a nice guy at all really and it's no surprise that he was a loner, but I couldn't help but like him and find him quite funny. That really sets the tone for the film. It's a bit dark but quite humorous at the same time.
It had some good tension and I was looking forward to seeing how each of the branching sub plots would pan out. In the end though it seemed like the directors didn't know what to do with all the sub plots or how to tie it all up so they just decided to end the film without a real conclusion. I wanted more, I wanted to see what happened next, then it just ended. I turned to my girlfriend and my exact words were; "Seriously, they're going to end it there!" and she agreed.
I'd still say that it's a good film and it hovers around 6.5 or 7 out of 10. If only it was around 15-20 minutes longer and had a proper conclusion, then I'd be saying 8 or 8.5 out of 10. Go see it if you're a fan of Gyllenhaal or if you like those open endings that leave everything up in air!
