Is this an attempt for a blockbuster art movie?

Rating: 2/10 (19 September 2019)

Coens previously attempted to produce thought provoking movies that might get closer to description of art movies, like Barton Fink. But they also enjoyed popular big success with titles like O Brother and Big Lebowski. I suspect the idea behind No Country is an attempt to merge these two genres. But to me, result fails badly as a movie.
Appearantly, with occasional philosophical rumbling and abrupt ending, writers/directors try hard to underline their message: violence and evil people just continue being while good people are unable to do anything about preventing that, neither young nor old, I think. However, in order to maintain this visibility, they don't fear sacrificing and crippling the story itself.
For the sake of first twenty minutes or so, until when Llewellyn discovers the gun fight scene and later grabs the money, I give two stars. Rest of the movie, although being a technical and stylistic accomplishment, does not deliver promised expectation neither as a blockbuster nor as an art movie.
