A Month Later, Netflix Users Spot Hidden Detail That Fixes New Thriller’s Annoying Cliffhanger

by

As someone who always uses subtitles, I think we can all agree this movie had potential! But honestly, a lot of people – especially those who actually watch the credits – have been really frustrated with how it ended since it came out on Netflix a few weeks ago. It had a great idea, amazing actors, and a well-known director, so we were all expecting something truly mind-blowing, not something that just left us feeling irritated.

The movie A House of Dynamite started strong, but its ending was so unpopular that the filmmakers had to explain their decisions. Many viewers were confused by the abrupt ending, until a Reddit user shared a key detail. They explained that if you watch the entire movie, including the credits, with subtitles turned on, you can hear a distant explosion during the credits accompanied by the subtitle “explosion.” This suggests the ending implied Chicago was hit by an explosion, clarifying what many considered a confusing fade to black.

You Shouldn’t Have To Jump Through Hoops To Know The Ending

The film’s ending is a gamble, and not necessarily a successful one. While some movies don’t offer easy answers, this one makes viewers work far too hard to understand what actually happened. Many people were confused, with one viewer pointing out the numerous online complaints and blaming Netflix’s automatic ending of credits for ruining the impact. Another viewer disagreed, suggesting the explosions heard during the credits are simply a recurring element in the soundtrack and asking if the filmmakers would clarify the intended meaning. Ultimately, it’s unclear how A House of Dynamite truly concludes, leaving audiences in the dark.

Open endings can be effective in movies, but only if they’re well-executed. Unfortunately, A House of Dynamite missed the mark. The film felt aimless and kept repeating itself, essentially showing the same story three times from different viewpoints. Combine that with an unsatisfying conclusion, and you’ve got a recipe for frustrated viewers – even if the actors are good.
