An uber-overrated pointless movie...

Rating: 3/10 (18 November 2016)

No Country For Old Men is a dumb, pointless, purposeless, UBER-overrated, overtly-graphic and mean-spirited movie from very overrated directors (Coen Brothers). The cinematography is, admittedly, great and the movie is at least 'watcheable.' The movie starts out well and seems very compelling for awhile...but goes downhill throughout and the story seems to be half-concocted: Why spoil the movie with the untimely, undramatic, and unimportant death Bardem's primary adversary -Josh Brolin? Why not continue the duel between Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin leading to an epic and exciting showdown between the two at the end of the movie? Tommy Lee Jones looks and seems washed up (not because he seems uninterested) and mumbles throughout the movie. This is easily his worst performance I've ever seen. Javier Bardem is detestable and extremely mean-spirited -whether he was intended to be that way or not. He seems like an extremely dumb person and unlikeable person in real life who's acting skills are extremely-limited. When he speaks dialog in No Country for Old Men he sounds like a quasi-retard with a low I.Q. This is probably the only type of role he could ever play, me-thinks.
The whole movie 'feels' completely devoid of purpose and completely 'dead.' I do enjoy 'violent' movies, perhaps more than I should, but like many modern flics, N.C.F.O.M. seems like nothing more than an engine for an occasional pointless, violent and overtly graphic death of someone. The lack of music throughout movie enhances the 'dead' ambiance of the movie. The fact that the public and 'critics' give a movie like this 'UNANIMOUS' high-ratings shows what an incredibly-stupid society it is that we live in.
