I agree you on most points, but not on the Ben and Kenny ones. I thought it was great that it wasn't another heroic story where he eventually does something to redeem himself, instead he suffers a horrible death. Even if Kenny shoots him, it's still pretty bad.
Now Kenny, he lost everything he had, his family and now the boat. You can see depression taking over him in the attic. He also drank, which made him slightly tipsy and gave him courage to sacrifice himself.
