Worst Coen brothers movie by far!

Rating: 1/10 (1 February 2008)

Holy crap was this bad, why were Woody Harrelson or Tommy Lee Jones even in the movie, Tommy Lee had almost no interaction with the main characters and Woody's character dies before we even get an idea of who his character is. The entire movie is ridiculous and if you stick around to see a payoff at the end between the protagonist and antagonist you wasted your time because there is none. One of my biggest problems with this movie is how easily everybody is able to find Llewelyn Moss. Even with the transponder it seemed like Anton had a stroke of luck to pass close enough to the bag for the transponder to start beeping. How the heck was Anton right on his heels at the next hotel - Llewelyn should have been out of range. And how was anyone able to find him after he got rid of the transponder and got into Mexico, not only did Anton find him but so did Woody Harrelson (or maybe Anton was following Woody, but I don't see how that could happen either). Anyhow seeing as this movie was something like #40 on the IMDb all time best and a Coen brothers movie I expected to be in for a real treat, instead I got a movie that doesn't make much sense and has no payoff at the end. You want to see a good tightly scripted Coen Bros. movie rent "Miller's Crossing" - how could that not be up on the top 250.
