10 Movie Endings With Disturbing Implications You Totally Missed
5. A Serial Killer Gets Away Scot-Free - Con Air
The legendary action flick Con Air ends with hero Cameron Poe (Nicolas Cage) killing Cyrus "The Virus" Grissom (John Malkovich), and all other escaped convicts either being killed or captured.
That is, except, for Garland Green (Steve Buscemi), a stoic serial killer who, in the final seconds of the film, is revealed to have escaped and is seen gambling at a Las Vegas casino.
While this final stinger is intended to be a fun punchline, it of course totally ignores the fact that Greene is a mentally unstable man with 30 murders to his name.
Even though the stinger seems to present Greene in fairly sane terms, it's a ridiculous assumption to make that a man who has committed so much depravity is in any way fit to return to society.
Would it surprise anyone at all if Greene committed a massacre at the casino or general Vegas area? His freedom is played for laughs here, but the horror-show potential is very real.
