We've discussed this before, though I'm not sure where, but that anti-climactic disappointment was the PURPOSE of the ending. We're used to those cinema tropes, where the protagonist is tried mightily, but ultimately prevails. But this is NCFOM, where evil is a new [or just the same old] unstoppable force that comes out of left field, effs shit up, and carries on. The white hat doesn't get the girl any more, the showdown doesn't play out by the rules at high noon, you're as likely to be taken out by Mexican yahoos as a worthy adversary. It's bleak and dystopian, and I love it.
