I've always kinda agreed with that thought Joe. I think because the movie itself is almost so anti-climatic until the very end, you are just waiting for stuff to happen, and in the last 8 seconds it all does. I love the movie, anything Daniel Day Lewis is in, is by default amazing, but it has that crappy, climax/rush the ending culmination, although the scene in the in home bowling ally is pretty awesome

Tarantino referred to the brief case as a MacGuffin, he wanted it vague. You're still talking about it...??
