2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Viper Moglord To be fair this was the 2nd product I've seen by Coen Brothers (after Fargo TV series) and the first movie with Javier Bardem I've seen. There wasn't too much dialogue, but the story tells it all. That's something I actually like, personally. All the dialogue occurs in the movie has a reason & also a meaning behind them. For the characters, there are three person we see the most: a hunter who accidentaly finds the money from a drug deal gone wrong, a sheriff who goes after the case and a hitman who's been sent to bring the money back. I can't say there was a prior protagonist to follow. Movie mostly focuses on each main character equally (maybe slightly more on Anton Chigurh).I must say I really liked the performances. Easily one of the best movies ever, but it's up to you to decide if you like it or not. I highly recommend it.10/10
paulclaassen Yawn. Oh, good, it's over!After an interesting start, the film tumbles to boredom. Tommy Lee Jones talks his usual 'what the hell is he saying' jumble. Javier is a brilliant actor, but he just seems to do everything in slow motion in this film. Is it just me or does the acting seem very, very laidback - almost lazy?The entire film I was rooting for the protagonist, who is then suddenly killed off screen. Uhm, why? The ending is very abrupt and leaves way too many questions unanswered. It leaves you with a sense of 'what the hell'!?
valentinvolland This western noir film from the Coen brothers is not that bad. The cinematography is great, as is usual with Roger Deakins who has cooperated once more with the Coen Brothers. I also like the minimalist score, which created a suspencefull atmosphere and is nice for a change as many films have a very noticable score, diverting at least some attention from the film itself and giving cues to the viewer as to what is happening (which sometimes is too comfortable). The actors do a very good job, even Josh Brolin who I normally dislike. Javier Bardem does an especially good job as the figurative 'angel of death'. The main problems mainly lie in the actual story. While I personally do appreciate and like the unusual story strucutre and the anticlimactic ending, many people don't and see it as a flaw. However I do see quite some flaws in the plot and in the characters. Besides a few plotholes (as I see them) I just don't see the point of certain characters (especially Woody Harrelson) in terms of their contribution to the story and the themes of the film. They are basically pure decoration to the story and could have been excludes without effect on the story. Furthermore while I find the themes of the film to be intriguing their depiction could have been better and have not been deeply explored. I have seen better films tackling such themes as coincidence, chance, morality and nihilism. On a side note, I find the depiction of Mexico to be rather stereotypical (and not in an ironic way). Some people have metioned this film has a (stong) comedic side which I can't confirm, I only laughed two or three timed throughout the film. For anyone who can't see blood, this may not be your type of film. Having said all this, I did enjoy watching this movie and I wasn't bored.
decepticon-55784 I wish I could get back the few hours of my life I wasted watching this film. Boring story, boring scenes and boring ending. Don't waste your time!
