I felt it was missing some perspective. It felt that it was random and senseless violence. Very nihilistic and ultimately very unsettling.

The showdown you mention, oddly enough, is something I felt was handled well. You did expect the sheriff to die and saw that his fate rested on a coin flip.
The rest of it fits into that category I call: Just a bunch of stuff that happens. There is no point, no humor, no angle. Movies seem to be increasingly this way and I would ultimately prefer not to see them.
