Eh, not me. It's very clumsy, but I do have a weak spot for actively, aggressively anti-Hollywood endings. I do agree that it's so over the top that it sort of punctures the whole thing, but dear Lord almost nobody even tries.

[spoiler alert for anyone else reading this] He shoots his own kid in the head! For no good reason! And he's the good guy! It's INSANE

He thinks he's sparing them all an even more horrible death. I mean, you can imagine the alternative ending of him being gruesomely ripped to shreds before the cavalry arrives, but that's in a weird way the less horrific outcome.

I know why he does it! I'm saying it's dumb cinema. It's a shitty choice on the filmmaker's part!

Could not agree with this more. There's no way a parent like him would shoot his kid, without trying to do everything they can to save him. It's so bad, really, and ruins the movie.
