Would have been good if it had remained ambiguous, rather than driving an interpretation in towards the end. With an ambiguous ending it would have left me thinking, wondering and liking the film. The final scene would have been very difficult and would have been almost haunting. But the way it ended you can only enjoy the movie if you are a person of faith and believe in god, etc...otherwise you will find yourself very annoyed. Its like going to a movie and finding out you ended up in a church instead. And a complex rich story becomes a cardboard simple movie that only has suspense because things are omitted and you are lied to.

It really is a shame.
