Let down

Rating: 5/10 (13 July 2008)

This movie started out promising. It was suspenseful and had interesting characters that I genuinely cared about. The thing that made me hate the movie was how it seemed to build up with the promise of an explosive ending, or at very least an action packed one. I felt it fell 100% short of that promise. The ending was the biggest let down and left me wondering if the directors just ran out of creative ideas or money. Nearly all of the main characters end up dying, and the one who doesn't, the old sheriff, ends the movie by recounting a dream he had to his wife at the breakfast table. That just seems a bit ridiculous, considering the action up until this point. The viewer is left wondering, what will happen? But also, why does it matter?
