I don't mind thinking about a movie and wondering things.. However I do feel like it left me hanging and not in a good way. I wasn't left hanging thinking about what might happen but more left hanging by having the storyline pulled out from under me for no reason.

When I say I felt jipped it doesn't mean I thought the movie sucked, but rather like getting a blowjob then having your mom call. Meaning the end just kinda went limp..
I already expressed that I felt the same way. They portrayed the entire film as very straightforward, and I too invested in Brolin and Bardem's story to even give a shit about Tommy lee Jones at the end. So, while I understand what was going on, I just didn't like it totally. I'd recommend it based on the first 3 quarters, because that stuff was better than most movies I saw this year.
