hi:)
just finished seeing this great film (I read the book a year ago) and I wonder what do u think happenned to jack Pozzi at the end?
I think that Pozzi was beaten and instead of being hospitilized was buried somewhere..
any thoughts?
Well that seems to be what is suggested in the novel as Calvin doesn't even let him ring the hospital but I suppose it's still open because Nashe is a fireman and recognises that although Jack is in a terrible way he is still alive.
shareThis is one aspect of this marvellously puzzling story that I've always thought was fairly straightforward: the fact that Calvin doesn't let Nashe come to the hospital, or call it later, I take to mean that Calvin and his son have bumped Pozzi off and disposed of the body. This clearly seems to be the assumption that Nashe makes too, and it is what drives him to the desperate end of crashing the car so that, live or die, he won't have to wait for the same fate to befall him. He's come to the conclusion that they'll never let him leave alive.
sharethat's interesting, never thought on that...
what's is the motive? I mean it's not like he have seen anything so secret that it will put his "employers" in danger...
maybe its just to see if they can do it because they feel like they have it all..
The whole movie was a damn sight more sinister than I thought it would be. That whole thing with the guy putting in the miniature bricks on the model as they were building *shudder*. Yeah, it occurred to me when Calvin and his son drove off with Pozzi that they weren't going to the hospital. It reminded me strongly (sorry about this) of a scene from Flowers in the Attic where the mother allegedly takes one of the children to hospital but in reality buries him somewhere. Yikes! So even though I couldn't tell exactly where things were going in the movie, I figured Nashe would have to think fast.
I don't know what the motive for bumping off Pozzi might have been, but the motive for getting rid of Nashe would probably have been his suspicions about Pozzi's fate.
A creepy but brilliant movie with Mandy fantastic as always :)
I don't think they wanted us to know!

Don't dream it, be it.
I hope they didn't kill him, but it seems like that's what happened, sadly. The fact Nashe found the hole filled up and also the fact he found him unconsious right by the wall. Also, Murks had that gun, so. I think they oprobably killed the poor guy.

yuckybear -- my take is that they brought him back and dumped him by the wall as a warning to Nashe, as if to say: this is what will happen to you too, if you try to escape.

Just finished reading the book, haven't seen the movie, but:
I don't think we're supposed to know. Nothing seemed to me to be that likely. I mean, Murks seemed honestly shocked to find Pozzi in that state... and he doesn't really seem capable of killing him. Now, Nashe believes he did, but then Nashe is in a rather psychotic state by the end of the story. But then, if not Murks, who?. If he had been beaten up by some random guy(s), and dragged himself back there, the hole wouldn't have been filled up.
What I don't agree about, is that Nashe thought they wouldn't let him go once he had paid the debt. From the book, at least, he seems to believe they will let him go and has plans as to what he's going to do.

>>But then, if not Murks, who?
The cops that the rich guys had in their pocket perhaps or maybe Murks wasn't as shocked as he let on. I think it is interesting that he shows up with that side of beef played by Chris Penn to "help carry the kid" just as we're wondering who beat the snot out of said "kid".
I do not have attention deficit disor...Ooh, look at the bunny!
