More hype than hyper

Rating: 1/10 (17 November 2007)

If you've seen the trailers for this movie you've pretty much seen all the best scenes and figured out the story-line. In a nutshell, serial killer, bang bang, the odd witty line. Been there, seen that. I didn't really care if any of the characters lived or died. There were three good lines and one of them is in the trailer. There were no memorable scenes like in Blood Simple with the bullets punching light-holes in the wall. About half way through I got really bored and lost all interest. The Coen's have been going downhill since Blood Simple. This is better than their last few attempts but nothing special. The critics are of full of it as usual. In the cinema I could hear people yawning and fidgeting and I am thinking, this movie is just getting hyped up by some big marketing firm because it sure ain't what its cracked up to be.
