That doesn't mean that she can't just escape into obscurity and evade puruit. She is an accomplished hacker and surely can erase her traces, if she wishes to do so.

As for the film, it's fairly nice for a self-contained story and I never took it for anything more. As usual with Kamiyama, it's generously peppered with visual and textual quotations from Shirow (the obvious last scene, for example), which I always found cute about Mr. Director.

It's not exactly earth-shattering, though, because, after all, it's just a SAC film. I think it neither attempted, not wished to be really groundbreaking, but rather it was just a continuation of the SAC story. Another episode from the lives of the Section 9, nothing more, nothing less. The ending is sufficienty open to allow the continuation of the SAC timeline, as Mitsuhisa Ishikawa has promised.
