Could Have Been Better

Warning: Spoilers
The premise is strong and it starts out wonderfully, but the end really leaves something to be desired. First of all, the kissing scene is underwhelming. I feel like the film would have been better had there never been any kissing (or seeing her topless, after which he's like, "look, if we'd made love ..." - what a way to jump to conclusions!!!) Second, when Book is discovered and all the Amish rush to the farm, it's actually anticlimactic. While we've seen him partaking in traditions and meeting the others, he's not been accepted as one of them. And in the scene, he's still not one of them. Also, they don't do anything, they just stand there while Book asks if Schaeffer will shoot them all. He's already shown he's a bad cop, why *wouldn't* he shoot them? That whole sequence was just bizarre.
