Great movie from Coen bros

Rating: 10/10 (5 January 2017)

Can't believe the bad reviews this film is receiving. Granted it is not an easy watch, with some graphic violence and an unconventional story line which doesn't conform to normal rules which can be unsettling on the first watch, but it has so much else to commend it that it certainly warrants a viewing. It probably helps if you are a Coen brothers fan, as I am, the dialogue is typical of their style, very dry, black humour throughout that helps offset the tense and grim goings on. The acting is great , especially Tommy Lee Jones , James Brolin, Woody Harrelson and of course Javier Bardem as a truly chilling killer. Like another of my favorite films, Donnie Darko, you will probably be left scratching your head and not fully understanding everything that happened but it doesn't take away the enjoyment of the film.
