let's get together at my place, rent it, and see!
I thought I expressed how much I appreciated the film and that added to my frustration at the ending. We were set up for a much different film. Since there is a major amount of convention in stories like this, the viewer expects the director to play by those rules. Breaking them destroys that bond, the trust, that allows for suspension of belief, for the trust that allows it.
Shame on the Coens. I haven't read the book but if Cormac similarly set up the false ending, he is to be horse-whipped.
SPOILER
I had one very large problem with one part of the film: when the pick-up began to chase the guy towards the river. It was almost on him and somehow he outran it, all the bullets? Poorly thought out, which is NOT usual for the Bros. Coen. It just seemed so... unreal in a sense of the world in which it was taking place. All that seeming realism and then a miraculous escape. The scene wherein he crawled from the water, dried his weapon, re-loaded, and shot the dog is a classic, however.
