What a movie! More than I expected...

Rating: 8/10 (23 July 2008)

It is HARD to say this is an awesome movie (because of the level of violence) - even though it is awesome. There is a ton of violence, bits of comedy & a lot of tension. It was very well made. The story moved right along. It was very well cast. I think all the main characters did an excellent job. Wasn't sure what to expect from anyone but Tommy Lee Jones (he is always good). The other stars were somewhat unknown to me.
If you can't handle blood, don't watch. If you can (surprisingly, I found out I could - I am female), you are in for a very entertaining movie. I understand why it won 4 Oscars (I think I am right about that). My husband and I laughed several times in the movie (watch for the receptionist - she is a hoot). That was very unexpected. My only negative is the ending. I am not sure I love the way they concluded the movie. It is not the typical Hollywood ending you would expect. With that said, I enjoyed the movie enough that the ending did not ruin it for me.
