Okay so the ending of this movie left me very upset .. first of all both of the parents are hypocrites...saying oh you're a monster you did this and you did that and then they went and did the exact same thing ..Also no matter how bad the accident had the man battered up how can you not recognize the face of the man who murdered your child ? David Phillip Vetter (September 21, 1971 – February 22, 1984) was an American who was a prominent sufferer of severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), a hereditary disease which dramatically weakens the immune system.Individuals born with SCID are abnormally susceptible to infections, and exposure to typically innocuous pathogens can be fatal. Completely agree haha. Because HE is in the movie way more than Kozlowski. So yeah they actually tortured the tax evader who lost is memory he only knew there sons name bc he heard it from them first. And when they were saying the child killer was still on the loose they were saying that after they found the car accident. The neighbours said that they had tried seeking help from the police several times but police refused to intervene terming it as a family matter. It’s a hard scene to watch! Satoshi gave Naomi his own charm to bring her back safely but maybe it wasn't such a selfless motive. Now follow your favourite television celebs and telly updates. :D, She said "it's the same man" referring to weather his memory wads there or lost. Other than to fake us out during the woods hunt? The torture worked in that he (the tax evader, kidnapper, and killer), for the first time in his life, felt remorseful. How could anyone SEE the ending and not recognize that?? Who in the fuck is the anonymous left wing liberal asshole above that said above "it was kind of sad when I thought they were torturing the right man"? Joseph was found guilty last year of attempted first degree murder and other charges, in this case. it is no doubt not him. Even if they had gotten the right guy they should be punished. What sucked about the ending was that YES they tortured the wrong guy, but due to his amnesia he confesses to that crime. WTF! How blind can you possibly be? In his condition...not knowing who he was, what he had done, in a jail outfit, assuming the parents were correct (after all, THEY knew what he clearly didn't know), why would it occur to him to defend himself, without a reference memory point, or be clever enough to give a wrong boy's name to convince them he had amnesia?. Ending made sense....at least made me realize I was right when I kept thinking "that guy looks different than the guy in court.". He wrote the note when he escaped and is in the house, with his back turned to us. The only thing they screwed up on was when she knocked him out from in the bathroom he didn't have the note in his hand but had already written it. Couldn't have said it better. I guess we are the only ones who payed attention Lol. I am a HUGE Bill Mosley fan and that wasn't him being tortured. For the rest of you who are totally confused about the twist...they tortured the wrong guy! he is probably just jelly bc no one leaves comments on his blogs :(. Their actions caused them to not only torture another human being, but in the process, they became tortured. Kidnapping and torture. +They have another chance to torture the dude later. The ending would have been much more satisfying if they had shown the couple finding out that they had tortured the wrong man...which they should have figured out before the torturing ever began, seeing as you would never forget the face of your child's killer...banged up or not. ... is one of the few people who knows exactly what happened to Adrian. It proves that he isn't a bad guy at heart when, despite memory loss, he kills himself when he is led to believe he is a child murderer. I just see this movie and this is my own opinion. Lord have mercy on us all :(. They convinced him he did it because they were so sure it was him! It left it with a message you could take into the real world which I appreciate. There is a very brief flashback sequence at the end where the wife, while arguing with the husband, says something like "It's the same man!" He then ultimately commits suicide on the grounds that he deserves to die. He put himself in their shoes and figured if these people were distraught enough to torture a person they would have gone over the edge once they found out they tortured the wrong person. Uh, yeah no. Enjoyed reading all this as I ran to google right after I finished watching this. Also for those of you saying he didn't have time to write the note, you SEE him write it in their bedroom moments before the wife knocks him down with a piece of pipe, and he has the note in his hand there and then.ALSO, for those of you saying they had the right guy the whole time, did any of you actually pay attention to faces in this movie? As the cops capture the tax evader they assume that's the one convict reported and unrealistically end the man hunt. My bad! Then the fraud guys note..only problem is that psychopaths don't apologise !! I'd love to see that! at least the cunt wont evade anymore taxes. The news reporter saying that Kozlowski was still on the run makes me think they torchered the right guy. The parents had very little time until they showed up. Yep, they tortured the wrong guy. They tortured the wrong person . Justice I think not. okay I just finish this movie. At least this is my interpretation. If they did NOT torture the wrong guy, then why even have a "Patrick Galligan" to begin with? That makes me sad :/ (the ending). when you look at the guy being tortured his front teeth are actually pretty good. However, the end of the film reveals a plot twist but has left many people wondering about the Tortured ending. He actually scribbled the note when he came from the basement. Well of course the viewer can get these points, feel the chills, be sorry for the wrong guy et cetera, but since there is no characters allowed to realize this, the movie ends without an ending - everyone is happy and everyone is a bad person. Assholes get off easy everyday, while the little guy gets pigeonholed for bs. Everyone talking about the bandage, if you go and look at the bandage Kablo-orwhatever’s(child killer) was long and wrapped cleanly with what I believe to be gauze. There was a flashback of the news coverage. That is absolutely devastating. P.S. That happened way before they even decided to kidnap the guy! The movie is about a couple who abduct whom they thought killed their son and torture him for his crime. They show it during one of the flashbacks. Scotty McMillan of Pennsylvania was just three years old when he met a tragic end at the hands of his own mother Jillian Tait and her 25-year-old boyfriend Gary Fellenbaum, all while Fellenbaum’s wife Amber watched. I reckon the guy with the dog was trying to lead them to the guys that tortured him so people have seen that and clearly the driver and guard must of seen the license plate. This movie was a sloppily done and the confusion was inevitable. He truly was a blank slate, unable to defend with anything but what he had, "I don't remember anything". They tortured the wrong guy who actually had amnesia. shitty to see the killer get away and his only punishment is him being free for a few days before he got caught and sent back to prison. That's where you get the satisfaction as a viewer, not from the possibility that "well maybe Bruce Willis realized later on he was dead" or "maybe they realized later that the murderer was all the time right on the floor". Galligan's character comes BEFORE Kozlowski's. In Gabriel’s case, DCFS workers found his abuse to be unfounded and they even closed his case, just weeks before he was tortured to death. The suspense is that the cops were on their way. Ughhh! ^^^^ REALLY DOUCHEBAG?? Did you NOT see the killer in court? God is the avenger! Kevin Duffin of the Chicago Police Department told reporters. They actually show the tax evader writing the note at a table at the top of the stairs (his back is turned but you can hear writing and the tearing of the paper) but the real flaw is when he walks out the front door the note is no longer in his hand. They used their sons name while torturing him, so he knew it was "Benjamin". Kozlowski was the one with the bandaged up leg who escaped the van when the couple got the wrong dude. Wow. They make it clear in the recap/flashback scene at the end...they actually put those two flashbacks right next to each other for clarity (which took rewinding and analysis to find so that obviously didn't make it clear enough). That was WAY before they kidnapped the guy. How could they have missed another guy being loaded in the van? There is no argument for the other way around. Ok...I guess this movie can be nit picked to death. The killer really lost his memory during the crash. They bury him so no one would be the wiser. If you look closely you can actually see the note in his hand before the mother knocks him out. No bloodied head. Whomever said they got it backwards clearly did not pay attention. He was left to rot in a shower that ultimately became his coffin. You were never in this movies production. blood all over ya face smashed up when u only think theres one criminal in the van,adrenalin pumping one thing on your mind an a crash....hey some people cant even pick out an evil crime against themselves a day later after seeing um face to face... Just watched the movie. The tax evader was probably the neighbor who complained about hearing cries coming from the basement (which was questionable to me because who hears noises from another person's basement). Why? I just watched the movie and rewound it 10 times, paused scenes, and compared faces. We simply weren't shown mention of both escaped convicts, because killer dude was the biggest "news" in the story, and it was part of the lead into revealing, to the audience, what had happened. How many of you actually watched the movie? While Craig feels guilt that he could not stop the fleeing vehicle, Elise blames him for not watching their son closely. Then he had the note in his hand, then probably put it in his prison jump suit. I am not being rude, but some of your run on sentences are difficult to read. Lol. This is just a way to end a movie badly. Republic World is your one-stop destination for trending Bollywood news. Where did he have time to clean it?? James Bulger was murdered more than 20 years ago, led away from his mother by Jon Venables and Robert Thompson who beat and tortured him before dumping his tiny body. Did you even attempt to watch the movie or are you really that brain dead? The cops caught a guy with no head wounds, no chest wounds, nothing...just dirt on his shirt. What logical reason is there to have "Galligan"? I'm guessing you're a pedophile too. His Mom and Her Boyfriend ‘Torture[d] Gabriel to Death’ Hatami, during Aguirre’s trial, described the … U.S. Crime Montana Child abuse A 12-year-old boy found beaten to death was tortured by his paternal grandparents and his 14-year-old uncle, prosecutors have said. He knew that he was an abomination. But for the movie could the just include it..hooing we wouldn't think that way ? John however keeps saying that he does not recall doing anything of that sort and certainly does not think of himself a killer. the two looked a lot alike when the tax guy was beaten! I've watched a lot worse than this movie. "Justice is about tempering revenge"... Fuck you, in real life people like this monster portrayed in the movie deserve everything the tortured guy got and more. Since he wasn't arrested for a violent crime, he most likely had a family and was a decent guy. How the hell could she have known they were going to get the wrong guy? We don't know who's right or wrong but we all got lost at the end of the movie. At one point he was outside the house. This explanation helps me a lot because I was very confused and I just now watched the film oh crap I just realized that when you talk to text AutoCorrect is not put a lot Allot . Its so clear they had the wrong person. Plot. Not trying to be grammar police it was just funny. I agree that the film touches upon morality of torture and ethics, but I feel it was a bit of a fuck you to the audience, Like the guy kills kids only gets 25 years and avoids being tortured. Was the ending supposed to make me feel anger towards the main characters, in wanting revenge for the tax evader? There's no two ways about it; they had the wrong guy. Tortured had a great storyline. I wanted to see when the parents found out they had tortured the Wrong guy!!!! The ONLY thing that I had to do...which only took a few seconds...was rewind a bit, to clearly view the face of the captured man in the woods, making sure there hadn't been a third dude in the van. Forget the amnesia...daddy said "it's possible! There seems to be an odd attempt to make the the parents comparable to the child murderer. but now, obviously it wasn't, Listen to you and your big fancy words thinking you know it all. Unfortunately it sounds like they added too much cheese to the mix, as most films do anymore. It's the same exact guy, for fucks sake. Are you fucking insane? However I am blown away that he used resuscitated, but spelled a lot allot and used know instead of know.

There is absolutely NO DOUBT that they tortured the WRONG guy. But its so clear now wollymammoths mammoths I disagree.. The the other guy was pure evil and, memory loss or no memory loss, wouldn't have given a shit and wouldn't have felt any remorse for killing their child. About the note: I think he wrote it before he went upstairs and he planned to place the note on the nightstand and then go out to kill himself. The parents of Otto F. Warmbier, the American student detained by North Korea who died shortly after he had been flown home comatose in June, said Tuesday that he had been tortured… Barron and Leiva remain jailed without bail while awaiting trial. That's a fact. It's lawyer pleads Not Guilty...daddy cuts t-shirt shirt up middle..neither one at end has cut shirt..torturing him.."What's his name?..fraud guy takes lot of torture then says his name (Ben) ..why not quicker.? Bottom line, they tortured the WRONG MAN!!!! I just watched the movie. And the murderer is clearly seen being arrested. Could you imagine how much that would reduce crimes against children if the predators knew this is what awaited them? "Hey my name is Patrick Galligan, I've been convicted of fraud and tax evasion, why are you doing this to me"But as he genuinely has amnesia, he wakes up in prison uniform, strapped to a table being told by 2 people that he is a child killer and a monster, so he starts to believe them.During the early torture Craig & Elise argue and mention Benjamin's name, so when he is later tortured and demanded to say the name, of course he knows it.He may obviously have known it beforehand as he was being transported in the van along with Kozswlowski and he was probably aware of the case, but that, along with his identity was forgotten due to the amnesia.We then see Kozslowski actually look into the window and he sees Galligan gagged and tethered to the table before stumbling away setting off the car alarm in the process.When Galligan manages to escape, as soon as he comes up the basement stairs he turns right, and you can see him (and hear him) writing the note he is later found with shortly after.He doesn't try to harm Craig even though he can see him helpless in bed, this is because he feels he believes he murdered their son so their hatred towards him is justified and doesn't have any reason to harm them further.He only retaliates when attacked, by Elise and escapes outside but only to kill himself in his own terms. He didn't know there was "another guy". I'm faceplaming so hard reading some of these answers that they tortured the "right person". that movie makes you feel stupid lol. Justice is about tempering revenge from one or a few people so that everyone bears some of the weight on their behalf. Two parents in Idaho are charged with the fatal abuse of nine-year-old boy Emrik Osuna, who prosecutors say was “horrifically tortured” in the weeks leading up to his death.. The man who hanged himself was the man they tortured because you could see all the injuries they inflicted on him when he killed himself. So yesterday i watched this film staring Jesse Metcalfe and Erika Christensen which was released in 2010, The Tortured. It was already widely known that the convicts had escaped. I wish they'd ended it with the couple waking up at home the next morning, feeling generally self satisfied with themselves only to turn on the news to find out they had the wrong guy. He knew he couldn't live on in the real world again with the memory of his tortured little sister dying in his arms after stupidly leaving her behind alone with the girl with the red dress. Some people just want to sound intelligent by coming up with their own little theories about the plot, not realizing that the film is actually black and white; despite everything else, all you have to do is look at their damn faces to realize they have the wrong person. Giuseppe di Matteo was just a child when the Sicilian Mafia kidnapped him in 1993. Before entering the bedroom. (Hoping). you know what is better than this movie? And at the end it leaves the protagonists who you root for being two dickheads who tortured some guy for something he didnt even do I think he was in prison for tax evasion. The BIG message is "do NOT take the law into your own hands." In their need for revenge, theses people bring misery to a man who did not deserve it. The big twist - The husband and wife, although seeking revenge, became the very type of people whom they despised! Are people really that blind where they didnt see him writing the entire time she was in the bathroom gearing up for a fight lol he was writing and u could hear him tear a sheet of paper... some people are oblivious lmao, The point is NOT them have tortured the wrong guy (which they did, of course), but the fact that they KNEW THAT already while torturing him.

They tortured the right person. if you notice when the murder in torturing been with his Angry Words you can see that 1 of his front teethis slightly broken off. An overall ok movie with a twist in the end..And after much deliberation (and rewinding a couple of times) I also came to the conclusion that they had the wrong guy. The Tortured is a Canadian American horror film, directed by Robert Lieberman and written by Marek Posival. Whomever said they got it backwards clearly did not pay attention. LOL! Anyway,they most definitely tortured the wrong guy. She is talking about blaming the husband...why she can't just blame the guy that did it I don't know! That's why the creators and those who write this movie had made the tortured guy face covered in blood all the time, so we cannot realize is the wrong guy. There are plenty of so-called experts online so beware.
