My problem with the ending

In order to commit perjury, a person has to be under oath. I don't believe that was the case at any time for Nash's character.
However, since the police may have thought that Nash's admission to holding forged documents was reasonable grounds for suspecting he had committed a crime, it's sensible to arrest the guy and then let the courts or a judge figure it out. -

Difficult to grasp? First of all, as the other person stated, I believe the crime was forgery not perjury. Secondly, I'm well aware the police arrest suspects and not only people they know for a fact are guilty. However, they sure as heck don't go around making arrests solely on hearsay. If they threw someone in a squad car every time they overheard something suspicious then every person singing rap lyrics or rehearsing for a violent movie/play would be behind bars. You have no clue what you are talking about. The end of this movie was rushed and the ending made very little sense.

Dude, you're grasping at straws; the guy clearly wasn't singing or quoting a movie; he said quite clearly what he had done. You make it sound less credible by calling it "hearsay" but it wasn't someone else who had said it (even if they had, it could be grounds for arrest); he himself admitted to it. I don't think he was put in handcuffs; he was just put into the back of a car while they went and spoke to that big cheese.

Grasping at straws?? There are a ton of people on these message boards for this film who agree that the end of this movie was rushed and made little sense. So he wasn't put in handcuffs, fair enough. If you really think that the cops responding to what was essentially a trespassing and domestic disturbance situation with a man with a gun, would actually believe, be more concerned with, and follow up on a "forged documents" off the cuff comment then you have no idea what you are talking about. They would be all over the man with the gun.

Don't fret over him, man. He's not even from this country. He said my "moral compass" because I said don't think that every person is entitled to a home in this country wether they pay on it or notso..we should just let these people stay because "I grew up there!" even though they took out $85k against their homes for tools. And I'm a very liberal person..

It was a standoff situation with an armed man. It can be argued that you can say anything, you can even lie if it helped de-escalate the situation so all anyone had to argue is that Nash just told the armed man what he wanted to hear - it doesn't mean it's the truth.
As for taking nash and carver in for questioning, that part didn't make sense unless there was already a case being built against Carver. -

I also think at the very least, the detectives on the scene (whether at the time or shortly thereafter) would want him brought in since he just admitted he committed fraud upon the court. Not a stretch at all. As for the handcuffs, I don't know what normally goes on in Orlando. Not sure if the scene of Nash getting into the police vehicle was minutes after the standoff, or after detectives has questioned him for a bit.
I do agree that Nash wouldn't have much of a chance against Carver's word later on, unless he had some form of proof about how they ripped of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Or maybe the government didn't need a lot of proof in order to start ripping Carver's life apart. -

Films, unfortunately, have to "wrap things up" in a quick action, which often means operating in a way that is not 100% realistic. It's happened on many films before.
I can forgive the filmmaker for that ending because I felt like the emotion was earned and the point was made.
Great film.

I don't think they arrested Nash, they were just taking him in for questioning. I was left wondering if the men in plain clothes were already aware of the forgery and were at the scene to pick up Carver or if they were there because it's routine to send non-uniformed officers or Federal agents or whatever they were to that sort of armed stand-off situation.

Agree, it's a formality.. Also separating Nash from the situation. An armed man he admitted to 'delivering' the forged documents not forging them himself. It was Freeman and his boys. So Nash would be asked to give a formal statement and eventually testify. Also, to separate him from Carver, who seemed to be having a casual chat with the Detectives at the end as he had a good reputation with the police.
Why btw, two separate law enforcements show up? The Sheriffs dept doesn't have enough man power in Orlando? -

He wasn't arrested by the "average cop", they looked like feds. The question is, what were they doing at the scene? Perhaps they were already investigating Carver? Some explanations would have been welcome.
