Best Coen Film Since Fargo

Rating: 10/10 (13 March 2008)

That's right. I am a huge Coen Brothers' fan and this may be their best movie since Fargo.
No Country is perfect through and through. Each scene builds subtle tension on top of each scene that precedes it. I was on the edge of my seat up until the very last second. Of course the superbly written dialogue holds the suspense when there is actually no "action" going on. Tommy Lee Jones, Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin are all astounding. Cudos to Roger Deakins for the mesmerizing cinematography. Pay attention to the chase scene in the desert.
The themes touched upon are dark and gritty. Not that greed, fate, and feelings of powerlessness have never been touched upon, but the way that the Coen's bring them to life is phenomenal.
Well deserving of the best picture Oscar. Highly recommended
