Murphy's Law

Rating: 10/10 (9 May 2008)

In the end evil wins: is this the message by writer Cormac McCarthy? But..is it? Where is consciousness? Police cannot help in this movie. They just watch the developments. Anyway, Javier Bardem turns to be very exciting in his continuous search for the taker of the money. Josh Brolin seems to be not so resourceful, he makes serious mistakes as the accidental cowboy who finds the money near Rio Grande in an area where the fight between drug gangs occurred. Existentialism can be proud as a theory that found ground in these characters. This movie is major thriller, different from regular westerns, pure antihollywood stuff. Speed is not so important when you want to draw characters and their governing philosophy.
