Question about the end - spoiler!


Okay towards the climactic scene at the end, right before Will jumps through the window, Dollarhyde is just about to kill Reba, he looks up and somehow hears Will running up to the window, how is this possible?

Also, was the music blaring the actual music coming from Dollarhyde's house, or was it the soundtrack? The chopping editing was also very annoying.

Him 'hearing' Graham was purely a convenient conceit to propel the plot. So don't try to inject reason into it.
The choppy editing.... is a Mann trait.

From that point on the ending is more stylized than realistic... if you can't tell by the editing lol.
