Not quite as enamored of this film as the local talking/writing heads were. Good, worth a look see, but not "The Best Movie Of The Year". I suppose the ending _was_ an ending, but as you say, there seemed to be a setup for something completely different. Kinda the opposite of The Departed's finale.
Things are looking great
And they're only getting better
