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.

That almost seems like a plot hole. I know that term gets thrown around, but it's not like Mike has a wide network of businesses across several states like Gus does. A good PI could figure out where Mike lives or has lived and I think that may provide a good idea as to where the laundromat.
Even Gus giving his name is risky but he at least has a wide network of diverse businesses that it would be a large area to consider.
But Gus isn't stupid. Anything that can be used to determine their approximate location can also be faked (spoofed) like receipts, etc.
However, I wouldn't be surprised if the lead German guy already knows the approximate location from the geological report, inside temperature (you can tell if a building is using A/C or heating to maintain a certain temperature) and/or some equipment that may help in determining an approximate latitude or longitude.
Of course, Gus seems too smart to allow that.
Do they know Ehrmentrout's name? They obviously know he's of German descent.
We may be talking about the same thing, but there was an elevator that Walt rode and shot one or two of Gus's henchman in the last episode of season 4.
Just based on the lyrics and the titles from the soundtrack, it's most likely "A Touch of Love" by Charles Fox (words by Sammy Cahn and Melvin Frank).
I'm confident that I am hearing most of the lyrics correctly, but I don't get any hits from google searching the lyrics I hear. It's possible that the song was written for the movie, even though it sounds like it could be a hundred year old folk song.
Don't confuse this with the R&B song "Just a Touch of Love"

That wasn't a suicide note. That was a note as part of a will. It was either written well before Chuck's death, or forged by someone to appear to have been written well before Chuck's death. It in no way is presented as a 'suicide note'.

She probably was just shocked at how nonchalant Jimmy was from reading the leader. Either Jimmy is hurting and just faking it, which is sad, or Jimmy just simply doesn't care anymore about what Chuck was trying to tell him, which is also sad. This to me is the most likely reason.
There's many theories out there about her reaction too (she wrote it, etc.) There's one theory haven't heard mentioned, partly because it's so convoluted. This is the theory that Jimmy wrote it, and that Kim know's that Jimmy wrote it. So Kim steams and opens the letter. It includes some bad things, maybe even some things about Kim, and some other private things. Maybe some things that would make Jimmy look bad in Kim's eyes. Now Kim can't just complain about this to Jimmy depending on the information, since it was a private letter. So she puts it back. But, Jimmy sees the letter, opens it, reads it, then writes an alternate letter that is more neutral or positive and puts it back in place. So of course when he reads it, Kim knows that Jimmy rewrote the letter to save face and or protect her, who knows, and that's why she's crying.
Now, I know this is too ridiculous. There's only one reason I would think a scenario like this is even plausible - I just don't see Jimmy reading that letter out in the open next to Kim. I just don't see him doing that. He has done so many bad things, even things Kim doesn't know about, that could be mentioned in that letter and I don't see him reading it out loud like that. It could even include things about how Kim was overlooked for becoming a partner partly due to her association with Jimmy and maybe Jimmy doesn't want to hurt Kim so he fakes the letter. Everybody thought the letter could be one last chance for Chuck to stick it to Jimmy, but maybe it ends up being one last chance for Jimmy to stick it to Chuck by forging his writing and signature AGAIN, and knowing this is too much for Kim to bear.
SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!
In the preview to episode 3, it becomes clear that whatever Jimmy plans on doing with it, it will result in both him and Mike making about $4,000. My guess, based on the dialogue the other poster posted about the printer salesman saying he needed to drag that stuff to the dumpster, is that Jimmy is going to try to find a way to 'take the figurines off his hands'. If so, probably something like this - Mike shows up as some 'waste disposal service' offering a free or discounted service, and offers to dispose of their old printers, and of course, ANYTHING else they want to get rid of. Jimmy probably rationalizes it by thinking "He's going to throw the stuff away anyway, better that we get it instead of nobody, AM I RIGHT!?"

I think part of it may be his desire to honestly earn the money, as others have pointed out in the thread. The other thing, if I noticed correctly, was that he had a large amount of deductions. Could this be when he first started really contributing to his granddaughter's trust fund? If so, as others have mentioned, he may be concerned about the legitimacy of what he is earning and wants a way to protect her money.
I wouldn't be surprised if Mike even considers going straight and trying to turn a blind eye and stay as far away from Gus's illegal activities. We all know he doesn't, but the next few seasons we'll see how he gets more involved in Gus's and Saul's shady dealings.
This appears to be from the TV Movie 'In The Line Of Duty: Ambush In Waco' (1993) about the Branch Davidian's standoff/mass suicide in 1993.
Here's a clip of the trailer, I've timestamped it to about the point where you can see the part where the sniper on top of the tower is shot:

It explains at the very end that he was heading to Tatooine because Beckett said that there was a guy there that was planning something big, or was a big time smuggler, or something like that.
