It wasn't really about the main "good guy" . . . there were no good guys apart from the sheriff who found himself in a world that he was beginning not to understand . . .
I think you have to be in the right frame of mind to watch this . . . If you went in expecting Die Hard you would be lost . .
Nonsense!
When a movie meticulously details every detail of a story then gives a shorthand thumbnail footnote for an ending, that is just poor film making.
They went from Ridley "inyourface" Scott throughout the film to a Kubrick "I'm afraid of people" ending. It just doesn't work.
As a former Coen Bros. fan, I was disappointed in this departure from their normal attention to detail.
The TLJ part was peripheral to most of the story and seemed detached from the main plot.
For a good example of how to make a similar story type correctly, see "To Live and Die in L.A."
There, the main character is not who you expect. It took me years to figure out the mystery of that film. "Old Men" was not that complex.
I liked it, too. Not the kind of movie I would re-watch a lot but certainly effective.
Raging Bull - 10/10
My favorite Scorsese movie
