Knowing didn’t invent bugshit endings by any stretch of the imagination hitting your audience with a wild curveball in the final act is a storied Hollywood tradition. And that is the aspect of its considerable legacy I’ve come here to celebrate. A premise like that can only lead to a completely absurd finale, and yet Knowing somehow still manages to demolish all expectations by unleashing one of the most baffling endings in cinema history.
