Very weak and generally pointless

Rating: 5/10 (5 November 2008)

I generally like their movies, especially Big Lebowski, Fargo and No Country for old men. This one i found, unfortunately, very weak.
No structure, bad screenplay, only few good moments (but not worthy of remembering anyway), one-dimensional acting and terrible boredom.
"Was there any hidden point in this that i can't see?" - asked my girlfriend after we have seen it.
Well, i don't think so. I will not remember this film tomorrow and this is a sign of bad cinema. It didn't move me, it didn't make me smarter, it didn't impress me on any level (esthetically, intellectually, psychologically, technically, nothing) i just can't find the point of making this movie.
What is the message here?
People are stupid,greedy and skin-deep? Everything (including intelligence and political rivalry)is full of incompetence, laziness and randomness? Life is a grim farce?
Well, we know all that, we have been told that thousand times, its nothing new. And when you got nothing new to tell (which is not bad itself, cause generally there probably are not many new things left to tell), you should at least do it in meaningful, skillful way.
In my opinion it is a total failure. Its just bad cinema in Coens wrappings.
