The Ending

[deleted]

I fully agree with Raulfin. This was not the typical happy Hollywood ending. It would have been better if the snotty daughter got killed too, but we'll take it !

After she shot him & he asked what was going on, I was expecting a brother/sister thing. The ending they gave made it feel all the more creepy.

"Didn't like it either, it was ridiculous and made little sense."

I feel the same about John 3:16.

Agree, enjoyable rubbish with top rate actors wasting their talent on junk which inexplicably was made over the countless better scripts, books, ideas etc. just a waste but still mildly enjoyable due to the actors...not the absurd script or the hack direction.

What was there to afford? You don't need money to steal drugs. You don't need money to own a crappy house in Buffalo. Passing a psych test is not that hard. You are assuming that because she's a murderer, she is therefore stupid and cannot pass a test. Sometimes killers can be smart

Inspired by actual events means just that. The part that was real was likely just that a man kept a prison in his basement, the rest is fiction.

I thought i was also looking at John Ritter. Uncanny resemblance.

Ridiculous ending.

The ending sucked but the TWIST was incredible. I never saw it coming.

YES! I've seen this guy a few times and his appearance and expressions look EXACTLY like John Ritter, except obviously more disturbed looking

I have over 4000 films, many of them very rare and OOP. I LOVE to trade. PLEASE ASK!

Not to mention that Jennifer Carpenter's character, who we must assume was traumatized in much the same way as the other girls, must eventually be released back into the world by "daddy" and she is well adjusted enough to not only join the police force but get promoted up the chain to detective. I realize many people don't like tidy endings but this movie would have been much better served to skip the twist and have Cusack either save his daughter or die trying without adding his partner to the mix of psychos.

Yep, he looked very much like John Ritter.

Dallas Roberts reminded me of John Ritter too, until I realized he played Milton Mamet of Woodbury in The Walking Dead.

Lol are you being serious or trolling? How did you not see it coming?! It was made blatantly obvious tht Kelsey was involved in some way with the guy pretty early on!...

1) massive hint when there was a random scene of kelsey moving some boxes in her house then camera zoomed in on "fertility problem/guide" books! Then 20 mins later we see thst the abductor is obsessed with making babies.... Put two and two together?!

2) The scene were she started going on a about a girl from her hometown who went missing and there was nobody to put up fliers for her! Combine this with when Cusack tells his wife tht "she has nobody to go to for Thanksgiving" ....put two and two together?! At same time there was the flashbacks of the abductor driving along highway and picking up his first "love"...again it was obvious it was Kelsey!

3) the constant phonecalls she made and it never showing who was on the other line! Again obvious tht she was talking to the killer and giving him warning

4) her desperation to keep cusack away from the black guy when he first went to him and interrogated him
