I don't get the ending (SPOILERS)


Why would Millard hire Bentley to kidnap the children? I don't get it.

Quoting from the movie:

"Why would anyone do anything in this country? Money!"

Most people are so ungrateful to be alive. But not you. Not anymore.

Am I the only one that thinks it odd that, at the school, it's fairly dark and in fact it seems to be night, but after the 'chase' through the tunnels, Ozzie, his sister and his friend come out of a sewerage drain in the middle of a city area in complete sunshine?? I realise it could have been possible for it to be stormy at the school, but that dark?? I think not.

I always thought that basically everything had gone on all night and the coming out of the sewers was the next morning.

that's exactly what I thought, it's not ENTIRELY impossible....

But they spend time chasing the bad guy through the tunnels, and Ozzie getting his sister back, so that would roughly take 3 hours or so? (I think) So it'd be dawn, so it'd be sunny out.

took place overnight.

Okay... Larry Millard hired Bentley to kidnap the children to get the two FATHETRS out of the meeting, so they could "WIN" the battle for WNN networks... >_> I've seen this a few times... >_>

That was obvious. Miles had a billion dollar war chest ready. With him and his money out of the picture, Millard got the transaction for a fraction of what he would have had to pay.

"$650,000,000, a small finder's fee."
