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.

I agree and said in the other movie thread that I kind of thought the ending was a letdown but the first half of the movie is really well done and I don't know how you can call it terrible as that's reserved for movies that are bad. IMO it was a good movie that could have been great but settled for just good because of the 2nd half of the movie.
