Just got back from an afternoon screening. Can’t disagree with any of that, mate.
WTH were the end 2 minutes about? Completely at odds with the rest of the film - should have just ended it with like you say (or slight edit with the boy doing the voiceover).
If anything, those last couple of minutes put me right off from seeing a possible sequel to this…
Really enjoyed that overall - something unexpected, fresh, and different (plus with something to say) to the ‘28’ series.
