Isn't it funny how you can tell a confusing movie by people's not being able to remember the character's name, and instead using the actor's name?
I agree with everyone who says the ending should be different. If Michael Douglas had to fall into the safety mat or whatever it's called, did he have to be SOOO happy? I would have been extremely p***ed after all I'd been put through. "Ah, gee thanks, bro! Haha!" I don't think so...
His living the grief may have worked, but would have been so painful to watch as an audience member. Utter despair.
Plus, what kind of game was that. Not my idea of fun.
My friends and I got into a discussion about the poor-man's version: You pay $100 and some guy drives buy and tries to shoot you or mug you or something. And that's it. "I was just teasing! It's a game. Haha." Or, you don't get divers when they drive your taxi into the water...you know...that sort of thing.
Did anyone else think they should have continued to give him more keys and hints, kinda like "Myst" or "Alone in the Dark" video games?
Still, I'll take what's-his-face's idea of birth and rebirth and watch it again; you have to watch it several times anyway. I did think what's-his-face was harsh on Cranky; I mean, gee whiz, it's his job, you know, to rag on stuff...
