Disappointing to say the least.

Rating: 6/10 (7 February 2008)

After hearing so many good reviews from avid movie watchers I felt it was my time to go check out this movie. Being directed by the Coen brothers I assumed that this movie was going to be one of a kind.
From the trailer I saw nothing but good things, my kind of movie, lots of action, lots of suspense, a thriller if you must. The first half of the movie or so is an absolute masterpiece, I was on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. Tommy Lee Jones adds a good comic effect while Javier Bardem,the bad guy, was perfect in this movie, the sense of darkness he brings to the film is spectacular.
But that is where it stops. After leaving the movie I was upset to say the least that I could barely discuss the movie with my friends. It felt like the Coen brothers were like well we are done, the first half of the movie we made is awesome so lets just not do anything for the second half of the movie just to tick people off. There is little to say about the end of the movie other than the fact that there is really no end to it at all and just leaves you mad enough you could rip your hair out.
The bad guy gets away, Tommy Lee Jones Retires, and the main character, they don't even really show how he dies. The second half of this movie I much rather would have been doing something more productive with my life than to watch that attempt of a movie. I was so mad that I spent a lousy 5 dollars on it. Do not go see this movie in theaters. Wait for the DVD and even then I would be spectacle about watching it.
Coen brothers really messed this one up and possibly could have made one of the best movies of all times if they decided to show up for the second half.
