Really? Moore gets knocked off in the first quarter of the movie,
which took me by surprise. Then the casualty rate mounted
aggresively, and in the end everyone important is dead except for the
mother and her baby. That's not very Hollywood or "predictable" in my
book, but hey. I guess I found myself, as the tale wore to the end,
not able to predict where we were going to end up. At the rate the
filmmakers were knocking off the characters, I thought it was entirely
possible the baby and/or the mother would die too.
The ending was a bit abrupt, but I'm partial to endings like that, so
there it is. Leave a little something to the imagination, you know?

Yup.
