Prisoners really sacrificed alot for the Scooby Doo ending. In order to make the end a secret reveal they had to completely gloss over the motivations of the villain making them a cartoon.
It was basically a kidnapping movie with pretensions of something grandeur but all those pretensions took away from the basic story, made the logic of the plot rotten, and added an extra 45 minutes of bloat like characters saying the same things to each other in different scenes. Inefficient script, lame construction of suspense, ridiculous and highly amoral themes, and unexplained or bewildering plot devices.
I see where they wanted it to go, but the script just was too poor to take them there.
