No film for young men

Rating: 4/10 (23 March 2008)

There are three actors that bring class to a great film or a not so great film. Morgan Freeman, Michael Cain and Tommy Lee Jones. There is only one reason I liked this overrated film and that is Tommy Lee Jones. He is better on his worst day's then most actors are on their best. I admire directors who challenge their audience by putting away the spoons but on this journey the fabulous Coan Brothers ask just a little to much of us. I haven't seen so much supernatural clairvoyance since the sixth sense. And the actors were constantly doing things that were beyond stupid. Bringing water to a man several hours later that obviously had only a few moments to live? I adored Fargo and Oh Brother. The Coens are very talented . But on this journey I had to keep asking myself did I miss something? In closing I will sum up by lifting a quot from another review I think is brilliant. "NO WAY is this academy award material. Stupid man stumbles on $2 million. Psychopath somehow finds out about it and wants it. Chase ensues -. Old sheriff, a day late and a dollar short, retires. The End." I give Old Country For Old Men 4 stars only because of Mr Tommy Lee Jones.
