last SMS


what was the last SMS all about ?
(the one Yuri got after the conversation with the Russian General ... Yuri makes a strange face, looks on his mobile phone, then the cut to the end credits) Must be significant, given his facial expression and given that it was the last scene.

I don't think that the subject of the text was the issue, or even mattered at all. Given that the main action was initiated by text messages throughout the film, I think it was just a small reminder to the Russians that they would have to be extra vigilant in the future, since they'd never know but what the next message would or could be a resurgence of Echelon, or whatever came after Echelon.You never know what we pesky Americans would be up to next, y'know...

ya probably right. But are you saying that the message might well be from his GF saying dinner's ready ... ? They should at least given us a clue to what it was ... :-p

They're saving that for the sequel.

I thought it meant that the Russians have their own Echelon.

But it could have meant other things. Eg that Echelon never really became conscious and went rogue. Maybe it was all a con by the Russians to persuade the Americans to destroy Echelon.

The third possibility is that the US Echelon is still "alive", and has now turned its attention to Yuri.
