Godfather - the hero turns into a complete ruthless one who sucks the penis.

L.A. Confidential - One hero dies, one gets shot in the face and loses his job, the other one gets a promotion but loses the girl.

The Crow - The hero is DEAD WHEN IT STARTS.

I'm not necessarily looking for Gary and Grace riding off into the sunset. But No Country's ending was unsatisfying, pointless and annoying. I thought it sucked when I first saw it, and I still think it sucks.
Agree on all those. How about "Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown."?
