This movie had many twists and turns that caught me off guard but nothing could have prepared me for the ending. Throughout the film I couldn't help buy notice many little details that could point to something bigger. Such as the officer smoking in the beginning of the film would foreshadow the smoking problem that Jerry would have in the future. But overall I could not understand some of the things Jerry did throughout the movie and why. It took me a while to realize why he did the certain things he did. One of his choices made no sense to me at all until the movie progressed. Why he bought the gas station didn't really add up but soon it did. From my understanding he was trying to retire from his former habits as a police detective but soon finds a lead to the case of the little girl. He meets a woman named Lori, and she has a daughter who was about the same age as the girl who was killed and he finds a way to get a lead on that case again.
From the scene where Jerry is telling the parents of the little girl that there daughter has been killed seems like a very crucial part of the movie. First of all, you don't hear any words which makes you wonder how Jerry broke the news to the parents. secondly, the hundreds of turkeys that were in the barn, were more than likely to be killed sooner or later. Which makes you think about the end of the movie because the killer was likely to be found sooner or later. But right before the killer was found something unfortunate happened to him. He was on his way to meet Lori's daughter when it cuts to a scene of him driving and a trunk honks at the killer and at that moment I knew that no one would ever know who the real killer was. The ending of this movie really grinds my gears because Jerry worked so hard for such a long time to try and find this killer for the mother of the first little girl who was killed but never did. Instead the killer was moments away from being exposed but ends of dyeing in a car crash. Which by default makes Jerry look like the bad guy here.

Great response, I relate to your frustration towards the end of the movie with Jerry. I was waiting the whole time for Jerry to catch the murderer red handed but when he died in the car accident i felt that all his hard work went to waste.
