So what is /tv's/ consensus on the ending?

Sometimes the bad guy wins. Interesting seeing a movie explore that.

Why the fuck was this moron so bad at his job? At first I thought it was because he's a coward who takes Anton's hype way too seriously and thus didn't want to get involved, but if that's the case why did he drive all the way the way to El Paso by himself instead of just calling the local authorities so that they can deal with it?
This country... it's not for old men anymore.

Oh, boy. The ending. Where does one begin?
Here's the moral of No Country For Old Men.
Seemingly decent people can let greed overcome them, intelligent people can make mistakes, others can pay for those mistakes with their lives and the nature of fate can (and will) affect everyone.
However if, as a lawman dedicated to upholding justice, you feel that your adversary is just a little too cunning for you to apprehend? Don't worry. Complain to your friend, go home to your wife and tell her about a dream you had about your father.
You'll feel better in the morning.

It was literally him knowing he would die if he went in there and that it was no country for old men
Him walking away and letting the guy go because of his gut feeling was the whole point

He's old, he's slow, and most likely has never dealt with a criminal like this before.
He probably never should have been a cop but did it because his father was.

Which is why he should have called the El Paso police department instead of driving for like 6 hours and arriving late, they might have been able to prevent the bloodbath.

>has never dealt with a criminal like this before.
So basic things like "ask the DMV if somebody has done a search on a license plate" or "interrogate people in the area to find out what the perp looks like" never occurred to him?
