Actually....of the two doors only 1 of the deadbolts is blown out. A.nton makes it clear all movie how he gets into doors. The door next door does not have a deadbolt blown out. So he didnt enter.

ALso, A.nton is standing in the room with the light from the missing cylinder shining through. So he is in that room, physically or mentally.

I stand by what I said, that I believe it is the threat of A.nton being in that room that Ed Tom is visualizing. He knows what lies on the other side of that door.

As the Sheriff drives up to the crime scene(at night),for a very,very brief nano second they show both dead bolts blown out.The Sheriff goes to the left door.To me its obvious hes in the room right next door.Thats why they blocked off the two rooms.
Why doesnt the Sheriff go to the blocked off room next door.
Because he knows hes in there.He flipped the coin,and went into the room on the left.He won the flip.he sits on the bed and shows us all, his relief.
He decides right there I'm retiring,I won the flip of the coin.We all know what would of happened if he picked the wrong door,or called tails instead of heads.

A.nton definitely killed Moss's wife. If you remember after he shot Woody Harrelson, he casually put his feet on the bed as the blood was running towards his feet so he wouldnt get any blood on his shoes. Then when he leaves her house, he checks his shoes for blood - indicating that the deed had been done.

Tend to agree. Watched it with a bud way back and we went back and forth on that because Carla wouldn't play the game with him, but trump card is that he looked at bottom of shoes wehn exiting.

Also do we assume that Antn lives after walking away, even though he should by right bleed to death before he walks up to next block after crash? compound fracture and all that. Oh right, just in case the studio wants to go sequel route

A C represented the devil or everything that is evil in the world today. TLC knew he was in there and was too old and tired to confront him. I felt that was the whole point of the movie. Maybe if you didnt get it, that would make the ending suck, but i thought that was why it was a great movie. of course he killed that girl, and didnt die from the crash cause he was the devil.

A more difficult question what did the woody harrelson character represent? why was he in the movie?

everyone who is attempting to interpret this based off of the movie is wasting their time.

anyone who has read the book and has seen the movie would dismiss a lot of what has been said in the thread.

with that said Box's stuff is great.

Agree with Greenhead, ***** behind the door of the adjacent room. There was a clear shot of a blood stain in front of the door representing what would have been Ed Tom's blood had he chosen his target's room. This new breed of evil is actually so far beyond the old fart cops capability he is spared. The military man, Louellen(sniper who got himself into the predicament by slightly missing a fatal shot on the deer), more capable than the cop but still not on the "ultimate bad ass's" level not so lucky. Or was it his fate

2 theories i have:

i just watched this movie and i have to say that an.ton is 100% TLJ. there is no way an.ton could have tracked that louellen moss was in that city in texas (cant remember the name of city). the only person who knew was his wife, and she called TLJ and she confided that he wouldnt tell anyone; therefore an.ton is the only one who could kill moss. TLJ sitting at talking with the lady at the end is purely a dream, because after an.ton gets in the crash he dies, and the conversation with the lady is after death.

my second theory is in part with moss' mother, who was helped with groceries at a stop when moss was on the phone with his wife. she was confronted by a man in a suit, who was with a few other fellows. she told him they were going to that same city that moss was supposed to meet them in when he was found dead at the hotel. they could have all been in the pickup that gunned down moss.

would like to hear feedback on this please

another thing. to refute the argument that TLJ just "imagines" an.ton in there. it couldnt happen because TLJ has never seen an.ton so he doesnt knwo what he looks like, therefore he cant imagine him exactly how he appears

my take:

i think that this is a classic symbol of good vrs evil. Just like the world evil has been a stronger influence as of late and tlj couldn't go on. I do not think this was his alter ego....I do think he was tired and couldn't go on.

I also think that ***** at the end was hurt and now on the run instead of being the aggressor and this is symbolic of evil and it's demise as well....He looked rocked at the end and that even if you take the path of evil that is is a hard road as well ie car wreck still a hard road to travel......ga

Ok, might as well throw in My Take of the Movie.

First off, I believe ( or think ) that Moss wasn't Killed !!
And I'll tell you why....LOL

You Never Saw the Body ! I think it was Moss's Wife's Mother that got killed from the Guy that was helping with the Bags.
They were the one's going to meet up with Moss.

Which brings me to the Motel .....What you saw is when in the film, Moss saw that his room certains were moved and that someone was in that Room.
( this is the part where Moss takes another Room ) to get the Suitcase of Money that he put in the Vent.
( which is why, when TLJ goes into the Motel room and looks around and see's the Vent cover on the floor, with the coin. )
THIS IS ALL FROM MUCH EARLIER IN THE MOVIE.

TLJ get's there after the fact. and Much later.... The Other Bodies that you see are the ones that A.ton finds in the motel room waiting on Moss
Which A.ton killed !
He then took a Coin out and opened the Vent.

This is why You do Not see A.ton with the Money. ( Yes someone in this thread said, well he paid the kid for his shirt with a $100 Bill )
But that doesn't mean anything. ( The guy can't have a Benj in his pocket )

If he had the Money, after getting into the Car crash. Don't you think that he would be Carrying the suitcase ?? He's not leaving that Cash behind.

Now of course I might be leaving things out, but I would have to see the Movie again.

That's my 2 cents :drink:

My memory's a bit fuzzy, but I'm pretty sure we do for a couple of seconds. The sheriff approaches him then it quickly cuts to another scene.


Never saw His body, and if Both the Mother and Moss were Killed
Why only one Casket and we Only saw One Funeral Service ?

an ton was sent to recover the $, which he did and would have returned it before carrying out his promise to moss, of eliminating his wife.
i think tlj mentions moss as being dead.

But here's your dead Moss:
