Actually the whole film had confuses me. Of course it trills me unlike the confession of Mark McGwire on steroids usage. But then, just like you I couldn’t find the sense of the last scene wherein they showed two characters meeting who shouldn't know one another. What does that mean? Does it solve anything? And the smoking gun, It implies what? Can somebody answer this for me?
I don't know what smoking gun Ebert is talking about, so I can't answer that for you. But the director has been quoted as saying he didn't intend for there to be a real answer as to who is sending the tapes. He wanted to create a film that starts off with the structure of a thriller but that deflates instead of having a real ending. He thinks that an unsatisfying ending is necessary to explore the themes of guilt that he thought he was exploring. The meeting of those two characters is irrelevant.

Wow, those are some tantalizing first and last paragraphs. I didn't even like that movie, and I'm tempted to rent the DVD.
