That was like a callback to classic Dexter - him eating that delicious-looking sandwich.  God those things are amazing. 

I've enjoyed multiple viewings of this movie a lot.  It holds up.  Also, I still think of it as the very best of that rash of "what a twist!" movies we had for half a decade or so - he out Shyamalan'd Shyamalan, and out-Verbal'd Keyser Soze.  What's so great about that last twist is how devastating it is on a…
