umm... No ending So I was Really into the movie till A pivotal moment in the story about an hour and six minutes in. The movie stops mid frame and ends. Not understanding it I went to the wiki and a few reviews to see if that was really the ending. Well it wasn't so I guess I paid to watch 3/4 of a movie. Apparently that's where the movie falls apart and after reading the real ending I'm not to upset I missed it. But I guess don't rent because you don't get the whole thing. other than that it wasn't bad.
