So overrated! Coens have done better before!

Rating: 6/10 (6 May 2008)

Sooo overrated movie... Coen's have done best movies before (The man who wasn't there, Simple Blood, Barton Fink, Fargo). Actually I think that "No country" could be watch as the anti-Fargo. In that movie, violence has a reason, not in No Country. OK. Maybe is a "philosophical argument", but that only leads us to feel that nothing that happens in the movie is "real". It has the contrary effect that one can imagine brother Coens seek doing the movie.
Another point: even Bardem has been better before (Sea inside, Los lunes al sol, Carne trémula).
The good: Brolin (really good in the movie) and Mortimer (tender, sweet, probably the only "real" human being in the story) the end (disturbing but with an emotional connection -at last!- with the viewers)
The bad: the story is cold, the movie is almost soul-less the characters look like cartoon characters or puppets... Bardem is overacting all the time...
The ugly: that has won an Oscar over There will be blood!!! (I think that even Michael Clayton and Atonement were better movies)
