Great Film, Rip-off Ending.

Rating: 8/10 (16 November 1998)

There is so much to admire in this film. The performances are uniformly strong with Hopkins having the most colorful and making the very most of it. The direction and screenplay mostly are also extremely strong.
So why that ending? Part Collector, mostly Wait Until Dark, and several slasher films have gone this very same route.
Because the film is so very very good the ending is a let-down. A nine movie with a 4 ending.
