Primarily the ending. Not that I was expecting good to triumph over evil, but to have Tommy Lee Jone's character be so central thoughout to the apparent theme, I just hated him feel out-matched enough to retire without really ever having been close to being on the trail of the creepiest killer in film history.
I liked the quasi-karmic car accident that also sorta ended the film, but the Jones character reached such such a dead-end that I felt conned somehow.
I was also disappointed that the film was a straight-drama disturba, without any of the wry wit and vaguely comic viewport of violent criminality that I'd come to expect from the Cohen Brothers and which I hoped would be at least minimally evident in this film.
Like I said, though ... I haven't been able to stop thinking about it.
