top ten stupidest endings

Rating: 7/10 (25 October 2006)

The movie in and of itself was good ... until the last 5-10 minutes. It looked like the writers realized the movie was running long and wrapped things up without putting too much energy into how this would look to the viewer. When Will comes out of the elevator with Sullivan and gets shot, they lost me. Where did the other informant come from?? I know he was a buddy of Sullivan but there had been no indication up to that point that he was anything but a third-tier character so why give him such a pivotal task? It didn't make any sense! I would have thought the girlfriend would have been killed (and I'm convinced the baby was Will's) because she knew the secret. By the way, Jack Nicholson looks as creepy in this film as he does in most of his films so the talk about him winning an Oscar is about as well-deserved as Denzel Washington for "Training Day" or Reese Witherspoon for "Walk the Line". All in all, it's a rental.
