Good for the action, but terrible ending

Rating: 5/10 (28 December 2007)

At first, I thought this was a pretty good movie. I was entertained for most of it with good action scenes and was on the edge of my seat for a couple seats because of the suspense.
However, once the movie ended I just gave a big "WHAT?" Did they seriously just end the movie like that? I do not understand how a writer could go through an entire movie about one plot of a guy chasing another guy...and then just end it with the cop who did nothing throughout the whole movie talking about his dream. Now I was trying to think about the symbolism behind the last scene and the only thing I could think of was that the dream signified that Tommy Lee Jones knew that the killer was coming for him next. He retired because he knew there was no use looking for the killer anymore because he was going to come after him. But in a movie like this, I don't think that is an effective ending. This wasn't some crappy multi-themed no plot movie. It had lots of action and a distinct chain of events plot and then it was ruined by the ending.
Therefore, just wait til it comes to video because it is a solid movie but you are just disappointed by the ending.
