what was the huge twist?... spoilers i guess.


i watched this movie for the second time the other night, and i really like it.

upon reading the "blurb" on the back of the DVD case, it mentions "a twist you'll never see coming".

i dont really remember any twist, or being surprised in any major way.

was just wondering if someone could tell me what they might mean.

cheers.

The twist was that Deputy Doughnut nearly killed all of them.

The twist was that we sat through this movie anticipating a twist; yet there was no twist. Now that's a twist.

This film clearly had a poor advertising team. I never even heard of it and I just saw it on a list of the best films you've never heard of of 2007. I definitely didn't see a huge twist, but it didn't really need one it was so great. I didn't really quite understand, where these "thugs" related to one of the kids that got killed in the car? I missed something there.

The twist is that Deputy Doughnut was gay.

This is a very old thread, and I know the comments here are mostly joking or sarcastic but if you actually watch until the every end:

It was revealed that the twist is that Gary was the slashing victim by Chris from the highschool he went to. So everything that lead Gary into sabotaging Chris into robbing the bank was an act of revenge that he obviously was planning well ahead to get back at him. Gary kept saying he knew of Chris but Chris didn't remember him.

First remember the scene where Luvlee was talking to Chris on the bed before having sex and she mentions how she remembers Chris slashing his hockey opponent in the final game or whatever. Then there's all the times that Gary asked Chris if he remembered?, including at the end with "Did you really forget?". Then near the every end, Gary is holding the gun to Chris's face and says, "He don't remember." He chuckles and declares, "He doesn't remember." . Then later when Gary is hurt and on the ground, Chris slowly looks down at the ice that's covered in blood and seems to be reminiscing about something. To me it looks like the slashing incident between him and Chris.
