The Sheriff


His daughter is the only competent deputy he has yet he's constantly giving her a hard time and acting like all she does is screw things up. WTF? Being hard on her is one thing but he seems to blame the deaths of other deputies on her actions. Those deputies were idiots and died because they did the exact opposite of what their training should have taught them.

Yeah I had a problem with that too. Like I was thinking, your daughter seems to be the only deputy there with brains and you continue to be a douche.

And it bothered me how the other officers were complete a-holes to her. They were acting like it was gym class in high school. Also if they just grew up and let her follow her orders and call some damn back up they would have caught Addison when he was still hiding in the cabin.

That's what misogynists do: They treat women like sh*t (even if they're related to them), and whevener they can, they find excuses to blame them for something a man did.

Yea, and women who take it and take it and take it and take it, like Hanna does throughout the film and undoubtedly throughout her whole police career, deserve every bit of that blame for being so submissive. The fact that the filmmakers portray her in that light actually makes THEM the real misogynists, when you think about it.

Wasn't the sherif the most incompetent police officer ever created? Let's look back at his actions....screamed at his daughter for no reason, spent most of the movie standing over dead bodies and snowmobiles, shot his own daughter in the back, fired poorly at the bad guy (barely even raised his gun before he fired), got shot and had no vest, endangered the family by calling for backup and then not waiting for them to go in the house.

Top cop? I say absolutely no.

We seem to have watched different movies. First, they were on the lookout for one robber, because the initial report was for two and the unbelted driver killed in the rollover was one of the two. And she was heading to that cabin to do a welfare check on the mom of the little kids, based on the concern expressed by the young mom's mom about the abusive husband. Nothing to do with the robbery/dead cop manhunt. When she saw the dead guy in the creek, she immediately sounded the alarm but her dumb co-worker had ignored her call for caution. Oopsies.

This is what I found most annoying in the movie, both how they treated her and how the writers stereotype small town cops as both completely incompetent but also as so backwards and misogynistic, that the sheriff can't even treat his own daughter fairly, and lets everyone else *beep* on her too.

I agree. Thats why i liked (spoileralert) when she was asked by the paramedics about next of kin, she said nothing.she didnt even look at him. Out of shock and out of spite in a way.
