SPOILER WARNING OF COURSE
So I watched the ending, and I do not understand why did the villain, Robert, confess the while crime to Michael at the end? He even gives the money back to Michael, which he tricked Michael into giving him.
Wasn't the point of Robert's crime to get the money and get away with it? So why give it back and confess everything? I just didn't get where Robert's change of heart was coming from, or what caused him to do that. What did I miss, if anyone has seen it, and can help?
Another thing is, is near the beginning of the movie, when the kidnappers get their ransom, they find a tracking device in the attache case, and they see that the money is not there, and just blank papers instead. I'm assuming that Robert switched the money with the blank papers. But wouldn't he police notice that the money has been switched out when planting the tracking device? Or did Robert not switch out the money for blank paper, and Michael actually had no intention of paying with real money?
