yeah, the trailer looked amazing. but it was just spiderman 3 with instead of superheroes... suspects thrown in, all the time, and non-sensical patterns being made (why would a child molester shoot a cab driver, when his previous targets were teenage couples).
I thought it was more about cracking the cipher and the murderer, but it was mainly aimed at the cartoonist, and how much it affected his life cause he obcessed over it. I have patience... but I want a pay off at the end to be worth the wait.
They kept you thinking, but just seems that they wussed out at the end and got fed up of writing. The ending wasnt even filmed. it was given to you in the credits. "Mr bob...never did find... yada" that kinda thing.
You do realise its based on real life and a second movie based on it?
Yes... "based on" not the actual account of, nor a dramatisation of.
Its a movie. It should have an ending.
As for the second movie...at least in dirty harry the killer died as part of the film, and it was a definate person.
