Quite the opposite. I'm fine with ambiguous endings. I'm not a retard that needs everything tied up into a bow.
My problem was not that the ending didn't tie everything up in a bow, it's that the way it ended was ludicrous.
So Affleck stays with her to protect the child from her. Got it. He's screwed.
Oh, wait, another way he could have protected the baby from her was to burn her and have her locked up or executed for 1st degree murder. That would have kind of protected the baby from her.
Second of all, the murder she carried out would never have withstood even the most incompetent of investigations. Are we to believe that was investigated and her story stood? horseshite.
The ending wouldn't have needed much to be tolerable. Just a closing shot of the lady detective going through a file on his wife would have been enough for me. That would have left things open but still left the interpretation that maybe this wasn't quite over. I could live with that.
Great movie, stupid ending.

You're not as sophisticated as a 25 year old Bogie's nerd. He listens to a podcast!

Dude, he stayed with her because he's almost as crazy as she is.

If he tried anything she would have gotten an abortion. He was protecting the child the whole time. It was basically the only way.

The book ties up the looking into the murder more closely better than the movie (but they hinted at it)
Boney didn't buy it, but the PD was trying to save face after "botching" the initial investigation so they shut her down.
ETA: in the book Des' murder also wasn't near as ridiculous, either

Good enough movie, stupid ending.
FIFY. Don't get the hype. I guess I should read the book because it sounds better. It would have to, the way some fanboys/girls overreact to that movie on here.
