The acting is great, especially by Aaron Paul.
The overall plot is interesting and could have been great, but I feel that the writers wanted a final twist so bad that they wrote this ending despite the fact that it's absolutely unsatisfying and makes no sense for David's character.
Very disappointing, something more predictable but more in line with what we had seen of David's character up until the ending would have been better.
Sometimes predictability is good, so long as it's not 100% obvious. But this really looks like they went out of their way *only* for the sake of making it end in a way that most wouldn't expect up until a minute before it happened.
And why would most not expect it?
Because it does not make much sense.
It's like having a "whodunnit" end with the culprit being a character that only comes up at the very end of the story: disappointing.
