So I watched the ending, and I do not understand why did the villain, Robert, confess the while crime to Michael at the end? He even gives the money back to Michael, which he tricked Michael into giving him.
Wasn't the point of Robert's crime to get the money and get away with it? So why give it back and confess everything? I just didn't get where Robert's change of heart was coming from, or what caused him to do that. What did I miss, if anyone has seen it, and can help?
Another thing is, is near the beginning of the movie, when the kidnappers get their ransom, they find a tracking device in the attache case, and they see that the money is not there, and just blank papers instead. I'm assuming that Robert switched the money with the blank papers. But wouldn't he police notice that the money has been switched out when planting the tracking device? Or did Robert not switch out the money for blank paper, and Michael actually had no intention of paying with real money?
I can't remember if I ever saw this. It's been a while if I have but I did read through the synopsis and the ending sounded very familiar. Regarding your second question, he was instructed to do that by the police (if the synopsis that I read is accurate).
And I can only speculate on the other question. DELETED

I watched a foreign version. I had forgotten most of it. Then I found a link to the script. It seems possible that he revealed the truth out of anger and frustration. Like maybe he had wanted to get even more money, and the both of them could have made lots of illegal money together if the main character had not been so moral.
Okay thanks... but that kind of seems like a reach. Like a deux ex machina by the writers. Like they realized that after the villain got away with the crime, there was no way for the main character to find out the truth and end the movie, so they just threw that in and have the villain change his mind and confess everything.
