I think that the whole movie was the story of the old sherrif who retired, so we mistakingly thought we were watching a movie with Josh Brolin as the lead, but it was just the storyline of the old sherrif,
when he retires, the story just stops. That's why we don't get to see what happens to the mad dog killer, we just move on like the sherrif.
I loved the movie, but I didn't get anything I wanted. I wanted Brolin to kill the bad guy, and he didn't, he got whacked by the other mexicans.
I wanted the wife to live, and she didn't, she got whacked by the bad guy.
I wanted the bad guy to get caught, and he didn't.
I liked it cause I was on the edge of my seat the whole movie, and because the editing and sound, and look of the movie was brilliant, and because these felt like real people, not actors in a roll.
