One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Rating: 1/10 (3 April 2008)

This is another case of the public joining in praise for a movie that is simply awful. The little "acting" that's attempted in this movie falls flatter than day old beer. Tommy Lee Jones sits around for 2 hours drinking coffee and reading newspapers in his office and various diners while the two main characters try to outwit one another. The dialog goes no where, usually involving subject matter that bears no importance to the plot, atmosphere or any thing else that might serve to redeem this pathetic film. Picture Tommy Lee sitting in a diner talking to another character about peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and you'll get a feel for what your in for if you ever decide to attempt this film. I was hoping he would eventually redeem this film but sadly it never happens.
The Coen's were always an odd bunch, whether they're working with their own material or someone else's, and with this film they simply perpetuate that legacy. Nothing more, nothing less. If you like watching paint dry or like to spend long lazy afternoons watching snails copulate, this film's for you.
