Even though it has taken me more than 2 years to watch this movie, I was able to do so without anyone revealing its big "secret."
SPOILER ALERT: If you haven't seen it, but intend to, you may not want to read this post.
Initially, I viewed Tim's final act as noble, but on further contemplation I recognize its utter futility. Guilt and a driving need for redemption drove him to inflict upon himself "an eye for an eye" as a means of self-atonement.
Yes, he lays down his life for the life of others, but only because he cannot find peace and redemption any other way. However virtuous it appears on the surface, his is a desperate choice made apart from the Grace of The Gospel. A tragedy in the truest sense.
Very good story. Very well acted. Well worth my time.
