You had a sheriff who presents as a hero, but is actually a cruel person who tortures people. But is considered a good guy because he has a badge. Then a lead who had done many bad things but now wanted to be a good person, but turned back on his badness when he needed to and we are rooting for him when he shoots a sheriff and an unarmed man. And finally a kid who wanted to be bad, but didn't have it in him. Whew.


Then you layer on top of that the role of mythmaking with the writer. who easily monkey barred from "hero" to "hero" and turned villains into heroes and heroes into villains based on who he talked to. So much going on in this movie.
