Does anyone else think... *Spoiler*

I agree as well. It was completely pointless and unsatisfying.

Collins had apparently ordered the death, or at least the surveillance, of Sonia, and since all the other deaths stemmed from that, he knew Bingham was on a killing spree and did nothing to stop it.

Stupid ending. Not that the movie was that good, but the ending made it a waste of time. It was one of those movies that I thanked God I hadn't paid to see it, but I still want my 2 hours back.

I was so convinced that Mrs. Collins did it that when I recently watched it again I was surprised at how it did end.

IMHO,

I thought of what you guys are trying to say as well. I completely agree and felt a bit deceived as well at the end.

But if you step back and think for a moment it a smart ending coz initially the film starts of as a military-industrial conspiracy we all have heard of and a guy fighting got it, Right?. The politician seems honest and selfless, etc, but he is a human after all and has his own desires, goals to be met.

So one one hand it shows that who in this "war on terror" is actually profiting - the corporates, but they are not the only ones. The politicians, who actually dont understand whats going on, lead us down the path of destruction.

I dont know whether Collins in his heart has calculated all this like killing and help from journalist or was he a true believer in his patriotic cause. The point I would take away from this is that at the end of the day we all are humans and have our own goals, desires, constraints to meet, so we all pretend to love someone or our country and in the process hurt others, intentionally or unintentionally. It was a very humane ending.
