Throughout the movie, we get constant undertones that the village isn’t doing so well financially.

The negotiation basically concluded that there had to be an eye for an eye but if a villager Why was the village in decline? Logan explains that he negotiated for the life of Vaugh. In the last scenes in the village, Vaughn is forced to shoot Marcus. Ending Explained Why did they make Vaughn shoot Marcus? Our only complaint is that there are some strange weird dialogue choices in places and the excessively long camera pans at the beginning that could paint the movie as a little amateurish. The pub scenes, in particular, paint a bleak picture of the village and conveys an underlying angst. The atmosphere in the village is so thick you can taste it.

If they were forced to go, they could have just denied any allegations and threatened to ruin what was left of their tourism if they weren't released immediately.īasically, the whole situation could have been handled if the main guys were more stoic, and the villagers weren't master detectives.Jack Lowden (plays Vaughn) puts in a convincing performance and you can clearly see his evolution throughout the movie particularly in the last show where he’s staring at us in the camera. The villagers would have had to either force them to go, or let them leave.

That decision sealed their fate, and it wouldn't be unreasonable to decline. Even if the villagers tied the incident to them after they left, there wouldn't be enough evidence to prosecute with, and they'd be away from danger.Īlso, they should have declined to help with the search party. Even if it was smarter to bury the bodies, why didn't they just leave after that? Their motivation for sticking around confused me. SPOILERS:įor instance, why didn't they just leave immediately after the incident? They could have destroyed the guns, so finding the bullets and burying the bodies wouldn't matter. I enjoyed it a lot, but do agree that some of the main guys' decisions were foolish.
