Loved it till the end.

Literally till the end.

It is a really great work with all twists and turns, which asks for a more intelligent viewer and a very focussed/concentrated viewer. (The kind i find myself to be) I like these kind of films because they're smart in storyline.

This one in particular has like many storylines which could have been written into many more films like prequels and sidebranches.

But... in this movie. I loved all the movie and sideways literally "untill" the end. Really "untill" the end, because i hate the dead end of the main character in this movie.

Greatly, i've seen it on "oldschool" dvd, which has a few alternative endings...

Which the first one was even more disappointing.

But the second ending in this extended/alternative ending... it seems slow and dull, but if they had shortened it a bit in just a few shots, it could be even the best ending because it leaves some seeds in the brain of the viewer and that actually makes room for a lot of fantasy. And room for a sequal. People would have want to see the next film, you could've had people hooked!

It could really be the best ending, (Or maybe even some sort of a loop), if they had started the whole movie with xxxx in some-sort of an equally likely scene.

To bad they didn't.
