Seems like there are not many places on the net where this rare movie is discussed. I found some reviews, but no open discussions. Did anybody else here watch this? I've just finished it, and I'm confused about the ending. So Jack picks up the army guy at the end, but wasn't it implied that Jack died? So he faked his own death or something? And the army guy also seems to look a lot like Vates, so maybe it's a dream/alternate reality/metaphore not to be taken literally type of thing?  ???

Not directly related, but I'm also curious if there were any other survivors. One of the guys who was released by Jack was left by Vates in the police car. Was that the same guy who is later thrown down from the height by Jack, and he somehow retrieved the guy from the car? Or was it just another boy he kept alive in the basement?

I mean there's not much info to go off of, but figured I'd try to see if anyone has another take on these. I heard the re-release "also contains Actor & Director Commentaries, Writer & Technical Advisor's Commentaries, Deleted and Extended Scenes, Film Festival Q & A, Audition Tapes and some previews", but I don't have the DVD, so maybe there's input from anyone who has those.
