Not bad, for an average film

Rating: 6/10 (1 May 2011)

I'm well aware of the Cohen's fame and I also know what to expect from their films, regardless the horde of fanatics awaiting the next "Cohen revelation" and supposedly semi-intellectual old school classic. This film is not any different. Artistically, quite enjoyable. Nice photography, interesting characters, not a bad film to spend the night in the couch for. Now, as groundbreaking, blow-minding cinematography, little here. This film contains exactly the same topics the Cohen tend to use again and again. So I guess you will like it if you, like many others, worship them. Still, this is not a deep movie. It pretends to be, perhaps, can't judge on that since I don't know what was in the directors head. It may just be the actual public and their comments who give it that feeling. No country for old men is a plain and sort of predictable film. This doesn't take any charm away. It also doesn't make it the best film of the year. In any case, I know Cohen's worshipers will continue to think that I don't have a clue and I will continue to roll my eyes. Again, not a bad movie if you are into average, well executed cinematography. However, this is not by any means the great masterpiece so many claim it to be.
