Anyways, once the hero got killed, it all fell apart, what's up with the sherrif just talking, that was boring as hell, I was ready to fast forward it.
Then, what was the purpose of the main bad guy getting in the car accident at the end ???? It had no point. Well, my friend said to show he wasn't invincible, but it was the end of the movie, so what ?
Another thing I didn't care for in the movie was the backstory, there was none or at least I didn't pick up on any like what the fuck was Woody Harrelson doing there ?? I don't understand his role. Then when he knew exactly where the briefcase of money was, that was fucking retarded.

It's not horrible because of the old guys in the end...that IS what the movie is about. like I said earlier, I was very wrapped up in the straightforward crime thriller they were unraveling, so when they ended it the way they did, I knew it was a curveball -- but I didn't like it too much. Everything you watched beforehand was a setup for the "old men" scene. It didn't really matter how Moss died, or that we even see it. Tommy Lee Jones is really the main character.
The movie is also about the randomness of the universe, and the unfairness also -- when you think about how the completely innocent wife is killed at the end. This idea goes a little further in the car crash scene at the end. Just because you guys had the rug pulled out from under you, doesn't make it bad movie.
I'd recommend it based on the first 3/4. I didn't like the end either, but I got it.
