I was super into this movie until the end. Cool story, well done, good characters and very hard boiled. The story was kinda confusing but I think that's only because I had a very hard time understanding the accents.
I really really hate it in movies when the good guy wusses out at the very end to kill the bad guy that they've been hunting for the whole time. Despite all of the terrible things they have done up until this point they all of the sudden have an attack of morality. Then after giving the bad guy a chance to change in a split second, and to your "surprise" the bad guy doesn't change and takes advantage of the good guys gesture and tries to kill them. When faced with kill or be killed our hero can now kill the bad guy. With no moralistic judgments. I hate it when they do that.
Then to top it off we get the ambiguous ending. "What's he going to do? Is he going to go and kill everybody? Be killed himself or call the cops?" It's okay to not show what you know is going to happen. "Hell or high water" does this successfully. But with this movie they were trying to be edgy and not give it to you.
Such a shame because everything else was going so well too.
