Why?

Rating: 3/10 (2 February 2008)

What did I miss? I went to this with great expectations (maybe too high?). I loved Fargo. But this film let me down on all fronts. It goes nowhere. Straight ahead without a nuance in sight. Just violence. Many times it seemed there was violence just because there "needed to be" more violence.
At 122 min, this movie was way too long by at least 40 minutes. Guys, just because you are hot shot Hollywood produces now in no reason to subject us to repetition when you run out of ideas. I go bored before it was half way over. A little variety would have helped.
And what's the hype about Javier Bardem? Since when does one expression get you an Oscar? Tommy Lee Jones, yes, but not Javier Bardem.
This one left me colder than dead coyote on Texas winter night.
