>>I felt exactly the same way. The movie is completely unbalanced in this respect. I sat there wondering, "WHY would he do this?" for the best part of 90 minutes.

My reaction too. I have no sympathy for people who give up without a fight, and ultimately just sit in the marshland waiting for their executioners.

It was like a version of _Invitation to a Beheading_ without the defiant and triumphant ending. Even Benvenuto Cellini's "I resolved to sell my life dearly" from his egomaniacal autobiography has a better ring.
