implausible ending - even for a movie

Rating: Null/10 (3 August 2002)

SPOILER ALERT!! With all the hype surrounding this movie, naturally you are going to see it with high expectations. It's one thing to have an ending which is 'surprise' because it was clever and the audience didn't think of it, but quite another when the 'surprise' is because the ending simply doesn't make any sense. The audience feels cheated in that case. I mean, come on... *SPOILER* - a year living with his wife as a dead person, and he doesn't make the connection until the end of the movie? All I can say is their sex life must have been non-existant. I realize that there is always some measure of 'suspension of disbelief' in films, but when the entire plot devise is centred on something illogical, it should not be forgiven.
