This sounds more like 'Killing Them Softly" with Brad Pitt, but it wasn't that anyone owed anyone money, two robbers stole from a poker game that Ray Liotta hosted. Ray Liotta had previously robbed his own game, so everyone thinks he did it again, even though he didn't. Brad Pitt is hired to take out Ray Liotta because even if didn't do it, no one will trust the games, and Brad Pitt drives one of the robbers around, promising him he won't kill him if he helps him find the other robber.
However, nothing else matches the description you've posted here and in the other thread.
Are you sure it is a movie? There's a series called Yellowstone but it's not really a neo-Western. There's also the series Longmire but that doesn't fit either.

Also, the episode 'Nosedive' from the tv show Black Mirror fits, although what goes wrong is in regards to the system where everyone has a rating on a 5 point scale that anyone they interact with can rate and change the average.
The movie "A Film with Me in It" is a good one, it's a dark comedy. "Mousehunt" is a more lighthearted movie that matches your description.
Have you been watching the series? The episodes are available on demand. It hasn't fully explained who he is 100%, but he's a middle-aged blue collar worker who's been laid off from work previously (it hasn't been revealed if he ever got a new job). He's also had bad luck with women.
The guy that he rescued Jane (the black woman) from is her boss, not a collecter. Collectors are ppl that capture martyrs/offering on Purge night for money.
He probably didn't 'rescue' Jane. She's probably one of several women that stood him up or rejected him and he's gonna try and let off some steam on Purge night.
All of this is clear if you watch every episode.
I don't think that was ever explained. I thought it was very dumb to just leave the axe behind. He definitely used some of the weapons (like the arrow), but for some reason he always just continued to the next stage unarmed.
A lot of the behavior you see on the show is somewhat irrational for anyone out on the street during purge night. No one is just gonna stand there and be auctioned without fighting it tooth and nail. Except maybe people like Penelope that have been brainwashed and already have a death wish.
I don't think Werner would have gotten the plastic bag treatment unless he was setting an example to the rest of the crew but it wouldn't have been effective on them. I think Gus used the bag on that Salamanca guy to set an example for Nacho and to disguise his cause of death for the staged highway attack. It's a good thing the twins aren't crime scene investigators.
You could also argue that his shady dealings as a cop may have contributed to his son's death although his son may have died even if Mike was completely clean. I guess one could argue by allowing that stuff to happen he created an environment where someone a ethical as his son was would pay the price.
Sorry, I thought you at least watched the episode.
For reasons I won't reveal as spoilers, Walt got on Gus's bad side. I mean "I'm gonna get you sucka bad side".
So Walt was desperate. He needed some way to get the jump on Gus before Gus got him, otherwise Walt would have to leave town, his family, etc. So he asked his partner, who had actually been closer to Gus in the recent events, and had accompanied Gus on some personal outings. His partner could not provide much help, other than someone that Gus visited. So Walt says "maybe I could use this friend against, him, but not sure how". But Jesse, Walt's partner, says "No, he's not a friend. He's like some disabled guy Gus goes to and taunts". So Walt goes, "Hmm, he's not a friend, he's an enemy".
So Walt is able to use Hector and Gus's mutual hate to his advantage. He offers Hector the chance at revenge, cause he knows that Hector hates Gus more than Hector hates Walt (Walt played a role in the death of a few of Hector's family members). The first step is to get Hector to go to the DEA to make it appear that he is about to rat on all of his former partners, something someone in Hector's and Gus's circles would never do, even to an enemy. Hector can't communicate verbally, so any communication is slow using an aide that points at letters, but Hector doesn't say anything to the DEA. He just has the aide point to the letters "FU$% YOU" and is sent back to his retirement home.
Gus can't have Hector continuing to reveal stuff to the authorities, and figures it's time to kill Gus, which Walt knows that Gus will do personally because he hates Hector. So Walt was able to get Gus in the same room with Hector, and all Hector has to do is ring his bell to set off a bomb Walt has rigged to his wheelchair and the rest is history.
Did you even watch all of the episode in question? I sometimes have to watch shows with the volume down and sometimes I miss some of the dialogue since if I'm not watching the screen I miss the dialogue.
Walt didn't want to kill Hector, but he told Hector he was offering him a chance at revenge. After Victor does the sweep of the place to make sure it isn't bugged or anything, Walt returns and even asks Hector if he has any second thoughts. Since Hector does not ring his bell, Walt knows Hector is OK with dying as long as he (Hector) can take out Gus in the process.
