Boring, unbelievable characters, walked out at 45 minutes...

Rating: 2/10 (2 November 2008)

Worse than TV.
This stinker of a movie joins in less than 10 movies that I have walked out on. Alien 3, Die Hard 3, Fresh Horses, etc.
Loved earlier Coen work, Fargo, Raising Arizona, etc. Did not see what the fuss was about No Country for Old Men, it was kinda boring in between the over the top violence.
At the 45 minute mark I realized I was thinking about what I have to do at work on Monday (a very bad sign), looked over at my wife and she made it clear she was ready to go.
Why are the characters in so many movies such caricatures and totally unbelievable? TV has become way better, for example, I dare anyone to watch the first 15 minutes of Showtime's Dexter and not be instantly hooked. I watched the entire first season in one week.
I have to disagree with many here, Clooney was not funny, Pitt was not funny, and Police Chief Fargo was out of place.
My score 2/10 for Malkovich, he opened the movie pretty well but it just was just so boring after that...
