    I think Eckhart's character figured it out as soon as he saw the fire & tag #, but just like when he talked the indian into thinking he killed the little girl, he did not CARE if it was true or not. HE just wanted to "solve the case" FAST, right or
    wrong suspect.
    But after he saw the REAL KILLER, he started saying Jerry was crazy, you should've seen him 20 yrs ago.
    He wreck Jerry's life TOO before admitting ANOTHER ERROR on HIS part.... They just didn't do a good job in bringing the storyline ending to the audience.
    And what a shame being they had so MANY SUPERSTARS appearing in it. Bad job on Penn's part.
    Did Penn actually have the clout to arbitrarily destroy a perfectly good movie and any hope of a healthy return on their investment with an ending reminiscent of a bad acid trip? Nobody likes a movie that leaves such a rotten taste in their mouth and
    most of us get our fill of such dark things every day we climb out of our collective beds. And that's a fact, Jack.
