I haven't had time to watch the movie yet, but I did read the book last weekend.

It is all about futility of life. The sheriff finds at the end of his life he is just the same in the core of his self (his character) as he was when he was young. The role of his wife as the normative character in the novel is very interesting to me. She "knows" him yet still loves him. She knows that he is not the hero that all of the voters see, yet she loves him anyway.

She is an interesting contrast with the other female/wife. She knows the worst yet still loves him. Contrasted with the other character who knows nothing yet thinks the worst.

BTW, is the hitman satan?
