It wasn't awful but...

Rating: 5/10 (11 March 2008)

I really have to agree with a lot of the haters on this. The beginning of this movie has so much potential but then I kept getting confused -- why was I rooting for Josh Brolin's character? I mean, he was dumb enough once to take drug money once, but when he goes back the second time in the middle of the night, I just started thinking that he was what he was -- a greedy, dumb-a**.
And while I thought Javier Bardem was frightening, I wasn't sure what his deal was -- was it his money? Did he just want it because he couldn't have it? Why was this guy so indestructible? Tommy Lee Jones was really my only saving grace, but much like the other reviews -- what was the deal at the end? All in all, I love a movie that leaves some open endings, but I found this to be annoying.
Definitely worth a see, but really -- not worth all the hype.
