One of the CSI team members told Loki (Gyllenhall) that the last maze in the book was insolvable. The medallion that the corpse under the priests house (the husband of the old lady) was wearing is a copy of that maze.

quote:
Why do this? Did the killers believe that all of the kids they freed would forever remain quiet due to mental illness?

The woman explained that she and her husband had lost a child. The husband confessed to the priest that he was kidnapping and killing children and it was his and his wife's way of "waging war against God by turning good men and women against him". They were kidnapping and killing children to make the parents turn on God because they lost it after their child was taken/killed. (The husband was the corpse under the priests house that Loki found)

quote:
Am I the only one who feels like this story had big holes with unexplained subplots?

Absolutely not. They actually did a good job of explaining everything by the end (which is why it seemed to drag out so long).

He didn't help stop a serial killer. He provided no info to the cops. He may have figured it out in the end, but rather than saving his daughter he ended up in a torture chamber.

The cop figured it all out on his own without Hugh Jackman's help.

Hugh Jackman accomplished nothing.

jackman took it upon himself to find his daughter.

when the police let the kid go, and then the kid told him that he took them, and then jackman told police what kid had said and they did nothing he lost all faith in them.

A major part ( I believe the main part) of the movie was "what would you do to get your child back"

He ended up finding his daughter granted he wasn't able to able to get to her, but he did what every parent in that situation wants to do, find there child.

I agree with you man.

What he did was fricked up but the retarded kid wasn't innocent and what he did is definitely a possibility of something a parent would do to get their child back.

Hugh Jackman was not the villain in this movie yet some people are trying to make him out to be it.

People who are saying Jackman went overboard must not have kids. As a father of a ten month old, I can come up with some pretty brutal stuff to do to someone I thought was behind the kidnapping or possibly murder of my child. I would absolutely wig out. I thought the movie did a great job of depicting the helpless rage you must feel in that situation.
