I enjoyed most of the film's running time. Both men are very good actors and most things about the set-up and starting plot lines were intriguing.
But by the end, it's become clear that Ossy's situation has only made him more pathetically selfish and self-destructive than he has (apparently) most of his adult life. Are we meant to pity this man who is apparently healthy enough to travel easily and breezily from wherever he last screwed people over, dive into undoubtedly very cold and rough water and then climb nimbly and swiftly up rocks he'd not even been near until a minute before, spend a night drinking to excess, and looking pretty damn good (most of the time) as far as we can see? Assuming this was set in 1997 or 1998, and we've no reason not to, his condition was far from critical, much less lethal.
His actions from beginning (and probably before) to the end did nothing but harm others, both cherished friend (!) as well as and strangers who selflessly helped him.
He could have called Jimmy, said goodbye, and then jumped off a cliff somewhere, instead of careen through a day and night leaving damage in his wake that he won't have to face, as usual.
