Why did they shoot him dead at the end. It's almost like they just had no way of ending the film. They perhaps they thought it was a fitting end as some sort of justice. I thought it was just weird. It makes no sense at all. He'd done nothing wrong, they didn't say stop Piggies or anything. Totally random ending to an otherwise solid picture. The two leads had zero chemistry between them either. It was like we're supposed to believe they're in love somehow. Where was the passion she'd been missing in her marriage. What was the reason for her to ruin her perfectly comfortable marriage with this passionless bitter guy. The whole movie lacked that and it makes it all highly unbelievable. If she thought he was guilty of murder like she said as an outburst in the hearing, how come two minutes later she says she never knew him. All she had to do was tell the truth about things, but she didn't. He wasn't a straight up guy to begin with, all the signs were there i.e. He's a COP!!!!!!! And therefore not to be trusted by definition. He's also a total sleaze coming on to a married woman behind her husbands back. So ultimately the ending is payback for him being such a louse. They just to me, didn't set that whole scene up properly. Hence I say, "Weird Ending".
