Having the killer kill
himself after the hero shows mercy is a standard Hollywood way around
it. Which doesn't mean it doesn't work, but it's a bit of a cheat
---------------------------------
Well, it's a literary device that's been around a lot longer than Hollywood
has, to start off with. . .and that's why it doesn't bother me. I expected
it and she did a good job in writing it. My opinion, of course--so I don't
have any complaints on the ending, having expected it from the first day I
picked up SS or at least fairly close to that. Predictible, yes, but after
all there are only so many plots in the world and they have ALL been used ad
infinitum.
