It was based on a famous TV show from the 1960s where the guy who actually killed Kimball’s wife was known as “The One-Armed Man,” so it seems like this particular movie is a strange one to object to on that front.

Are any one-armed people actually offended by the movie? If you aren’t one-armed yourself, have you asked any of them?
This is the weirdest hill to die on- complaining about the portrayal of a man with one arm in a 1990s adaptation of a 1960s TV show as if it is somehow relevant to films in 2024.

The real villain was Kimball’s able-bodied buddy, and the antagonist was Tommy Lee Jones.
Also, everybody knows that the souls of one-armed men are poisoned with resentment, driving them to crime. The movie was just being realistic.
