An example of what movies have become.........

Rating: 4/10 (28 April 2008)

The Coen Brothers know how to shoot a movie, they are Masters at the Art. Fargo is one of the greatest movies I have seen but 'No Country For Old Men' has still got me wondering: "Why all the hype?". Drug Deal Gone Bad, guy (Brolin) checks out the scene, comes back to give an already dead guy water and by doing so....gets himself into what we call "Hot" water. Having never been impressed with people in real life who think they have the answer or the prophetic language to verbally submit someone to fear, I really didn't care for the role of the Hit-man named "Chiguhr" (I believe thats how you spell it). Sure that is the design of a great movie when it grabs your emotions as such, but I just didn't care for his scenes, too bland, trying to sound too 'prophetic', which actually to me sounded too 'pathetic'. Tommy Lee Jones is the only reason I rate this film at all, his role was amazing, he really mastered the southern tongue very well, his insightfulness was great and comical too (which seemed odd for this kind of movie, but thats the Coen Borothers at work folks!) The ending also messed with my head pretty bad, I wanted to break the DVD in half! Anytime I ever watched a flick about someone killing people, the killer usually gets killed him or herself by the 'hero'. In no way did I find this movie gratifying (maybe I'am not supposed to?) I really don't get why everyone raves this movie as so wonderful, Academy awards? Jeesh! I like to see the killers get killed, not get into a car accident, break their arm and walk away. Yeah maybe the car accident was karma for all of his wrongdoings, but my problem is the fact that he isn't dead. I'm sorry 'No Country For Old Men' lovers, but this movie really let me down, I guess in this day in age of crappy movies, I shouldn't be so surprised..........
