I started hearing about the last shot of this film and how no resolution is really reached. That sealed the bump to the top of the Netflix queue for me.

As I awaited what was becoming a rather infamous finale, Cache held me tightly in its grasp. Everything worked wonders for me, even the fews things that I thought would throw me: the political tie-in; the film's HDCAM shooting format; the cliff-hanging ending. Also, congrats to Hanake for actually making me jaw drop. No, really, the suicide made it drop and hang for about a minute flat.

I paid extra-special attention to the film when, according to my dvd player, there were only a few minutes left. I did catch the characters in that "Where's Waldo?" shot, and, even though the credits rolling shouldn't have caught me off guard, they did. Going over the shot three more times--as well as watching the Hanake interview--made me feel a little more comfortable with what it. It made me think and form my own opinions. I've always championed that cause.
