I never, ever leave until everything is over. I won't feel like I've watched the whole thing otherwise.
I'm going to have to adopt this code...I can't believe I didn't stay!!! Someone tell me what happens after the credits!! (In spoiler tags of course)

They're both breathing heavily, but Neeson is resting his head on the wolf. However, the way it's shot, is reminiscent of the last shot we see of Diaz, resting on the log.

I don't think its an ambiguous ending at all. Ottway was obviously mortally wounded and before he fights the wolf he seemed to have given up already since he takes all of the wallets out and examines them. The movie was always very grim in the first place plus theres the poem
"When art imitates life"

Crap I really wish I would have stayed...
So both Neesan and the Wolf are laying on each other breathing heavily? Or just the wolf?

Both, but Neeson is resting his head on the wolf. They're both going to die, but he seems to have won the battle.

Well crap, I wish I would have been thinking!

It was a very fitting ending for the film. Wonderful stuff.

Superb movie. Neeson carries it with a very decent supporting cast.

Amazing movie - 8.9/10

Emotional, sad, intense, scary, funny at times, and very thought provoking.
