Yes it is indeed super.

The ending is highly divisive though, and most seem to think it undermines and cheapens everything that has gone before it.

Personally, I think it works - with just a moment's thought for consideration.

I didn't really like this movie. I though the plot twist made no sense with what was shown previously in the movie.

-SPOILER-
So it's supposed to be her friend the whole time, right?
So, who is she chasing in the truck?
Who is she hiding from in the bathroom?

Most importantly, who is in the truck in the beginning of the movie? When the womans head is thrown out the window. Somethings can be explained as her crazy revision of the events, but not this.
I just thought it all was a little to much.

yes, i know so much is so ordinary, so coarse, and so vulgar. but survival is simply not enough. nowhere near.
what's the point of surviving? survive what? don't you realize you're going to die? f*ck your missions, your crusade.
i demand and expect quality.
right now, once and for all.
quality time.

That's even worse. I absolutly hate the 'it was all a dream' ending. Such a cope out.

The film is told mostly from the deranged, schizophrenic perspective of the girl - the filthy male killer is entirely a figment of her own imagination. There is no 'it was all a dream' ending.

Many think this revelation undermines and destroys everthing that has gone before - others however are impressed with the playing of the split-personality card also used effectively in Fight Club and Secret Window.

I misunderstood 'it all really never happened.'
But that's what I said before, that some of it could be explained as her crazy revision of events. But can that really explain it all. The guy in the van near the begininng. Did she imagine that? Or is this just a useless scene to throw off and confuse?
Don't get me wrong, misleading is fine, but there should be some sort of reason/explaination latter on.
