After some dwindling in the twilight, Walker vanishes into dark. The 93 000 he´d obsessed over were to remain forever beyond his reach... as he´d never left the cell in the first place.

or as if he was now able to forsee any set-up (and even imaginary set-ups) ...

If there's a flaw in this flick, it's that the conclusion is a tad confusing.

The ending is obvious.None of this was a dream.Walker was a person who was unfeeling and numb to other's emotions.At times he was zombielike because of having no pity and tuned people out.Walker was used as a tool by Yost to eliminate Yost's internal competition in the mob.Walker after seeing how treacherous Yost was,simply walked away.He wanted no part of the organization or the money as it might obligate him to Yost.Good story with no need to read any deeper meaning into it.

Walker is a patient and practical man and as he's said over and over again, he wants his $93,000.

All he has to do is wait for the Yost/Fairfax and Mr. Hired Gun to leave, and collect his $93,000.

reply

Yep, that's what I got too. Couldn't leave Walker alive and not leave him the money, he'd track you down, and Walker was too smart to show himself and be killed.

reply

my thoughts exactly.
he just waited and waited.. then took the $$$

It's a film noir. Marvin retreats back into the shadows and the world is left in darkness. It turns out the "good guys" are actually the "bad guys" and there's no difference between them.

Very poetic, but I'm not sure what you're getting at.

It turns out the "good guys" are actually the "bad guys" and there's no difference between them.


Either you're referring to Walker, who was always more of an anti-hero than a traditional "good guy", or, more likely, Yost turning out to be Fairfax. Though I never viewed Yost as a "good guy" in the first place, either.

Care to elaborate?
