Watching this a second time thanks to someone posting their comment today. I had forgotten the how it ended.
Now that I’ve paid more attention, I too am wondering if there’s ever going to be another showing the hunt for the actual killer. I saw Deacon planting the files and boots, but I can’t figure out the reason for it. Was it to frame the guy that was going to court?
I think Deacon was “paying it forward” with the cover-up to keep Baxter from following in his footsteps (years-long guilt trip, divorce, losing his nerve, etc.), risking Baxter losing his idyllic family life.
I did like how the flashback revealed everything. Great actors with a great script! Despite this being a recent release, it’s still definitely worth the re-watch. Might even go back for a 3rd watch since I can’t figure out the intended effect of planting the files/boots. Anyone?
