To all the people who had trouble distinguishing the face of the
killer at the end: it was definitely Jeff Bridges. Maybe you had
a bad print or something, but there was absolutely no doubt in the
mind of anyone in the theater I saw it in. His face looked a little
strange because he was lying on his back and playing dead, so the
muscles were slack. Besides, it was obvious even before the mask
came off that that was Jeff Bridges' body under those clothes.
No other male character in the movie was as tall or as broad-shouldered
as he was.
All that aside, I felt completely ripped off at the ending. All of
my objections have been voiced by others on the net, but, really,
when did we *ever* get the characterization from Glenn Close that
she was the kind of woman who would have a gun in the house, calmly
load it, hide it under the covers, and then cooly blow away a
vicious murderer with whom she had just had a passionate love
affair?
At first when she got really calm, I thought that she was going to
let him murder her, out of some leftover guilt feelings for the
'murder' of that innocent man she helped to prosecute. Now *that*
would have been more in character than suddenly becoming Dirty Harry!

The fact that she iced a
psychopathic murder in a black
mask did not surprise me. After all,
this is a woman who drinks Budwiser
for lunch.
