Great Movie...
Except Willis' character should have died in the end. The schmaltzy ending betrays everything that came before. The film was about doing the right thing even when the odds are against you, and often doing the right thing means self-sacrifice. The film would have been a thousand times more powerful if Willis and everyone but Cole Hauser fell to the final onslaught. Feels like some Hollywood exec (or Willis himself) demanded that Willis survive. Candy floss ending takes it down from an 8 to a 7.
