Choose Connor was quite a surprise - even for a 2 hour movie, it managed to stay interesting throughout. I didn't see where it was going early, and the tone shifted considerably towards the end of the film.
While I understand that the point is to show Owen's disbelief in what he has learned, to end the movie with literally nothing disappointed me greatly. Why spend all that time building up to it if there is no resolution? I guess the point is that we're supposed to believe that Owen will find a way to do something after the events in the film. I personally didn't come out of this with a sense of hope, more a sense of dismay that more could've been done with this film, and more could've been shown. I'm certainly not suggesting that Owen could've somehow 'beat the system' necessarily, but to not even show anything and just leave it with...well, nothing, was a cop out in my opinion.
This film would seem to be a testament to the need for tighter screen writing allowing for a more meaningful conclusion.
