Firstly let me start by saying I love Coen brother movies. Fargo was great as was O Brother, where Art Thou. But what happened here? Did the Coen brothers think that the audience would call this a piece of art because it is one of their movies? Did they honestly think that we viewers were going to be all goo goo and awash with pride for them?..HAHA..not me..Coen's what are you doing? Don't get me wrong though. This movie has some merit if you like seeing some bad ass Mexican looking dude going on a killing spree. Just who was he anyway? What did he have to do with the drugs and money? This wasn't fully explained to me in the film. Basically it goes like this: A drug deal has gone bad out in the American desert..bodies everywhere..even the poor dog cops a bullet. White guy hunter/welder Llewelyn Moss played by Josh Brolin comes across the aftermath of this bad deal and comes upon 2 million dollars in cash..He decides to take it. Bad ass Mexican looking dude Anton Chigurh played by Javier Bardem starts to hunt him to get the money back. Bad ass Mexican dude kills everyone in his path using what looks to me to be a gun concocted from a cylinder of compressed air that he carts around with him. White guy hunter/welder runs away and stays in hotels. Bad ass Mexican dude tracks him via a transmitter in the money's bag. Carson Wells played by Woody Harrelson pops into the movie. God knows why and gets killed 5 minutes later. A Sheriff, Ed Tom Bell played by Tommy Lee Jones who is about to retire is kind of on the case but he doesn't really do much except sprout philosophy, read his newspaper and drive around in his Sherrifs car. White guy hunter/welder gets killed...Off camera. White guy hunter/welders wife gets killed...Off camera. Bad ass Mexican dude has a car accident, which probably would have killed or seriously injured any normal person and walks away from it with a broken arm. The Sheriff then tells us of a dream he had. The End...like WHAT THA???? I couldn't believe it. I wanted to see a proper ending to the film not just a sudden stop like that and especially not after enduring 2hrs worth. What a disappointment. The best thing about this movie I thought was the character played by Javier Bardem. He was Baddd Asssss. I've given it 5/10 because of his part.
