It is not a thriller. The director seems to have fallen in love, on behalf of the audience, with these three charachters. Too much that he didnt want an end that can get them rankordered. Hence, he had to come up wih an escape goat, which is here "emperical science" as symbolized by the 'organisation' that maintain balance on earth so the conflict between tenable prospect archetypes in the polarity from both ends cant confescate the identities of all inteties living in between.
The movie definitely served to expresse the writer and director's stance being in favour of religion and spirituality/soul as opposed to atheism and nihilism.
Although, there are maybe tens of ways to arrive at such testemony, but Mr.M had to explain away his success and fortune coming from the past two; unbreakable and split.
