Great Movie, deserves Awards

Rating: 9/10 (24 February 2008)

I failed to see this movie when it first hit the big screen months ago. I was disappointed. Then I heard it was going back to theaters because of its Oscar Nomination. I had a second chance to see it on the big screen so last night I jumped at the opportunity and me and my brother sped to the theater and managed to see it. That was the first movie I saw in theaters in 2008, and let me say, it set the bar rather high for the other movies I will see in theaters in 2008. That movie was great. The acting was perfect. Every character was great and well-played. Even the bad guy was good, you even wanted him to make it at times just so you could see him more. Tommy Lee Jones is still a great actor. Although he threw me off at times, sometimes he seemed senile, others he seemed like the most sane guy in the world. Javier Bardem was excellent as the insane Anton Chigurh. Josh Brolin gave his best performance I think as Lewellyn Moss. Even Woody Harrelson changed my opinion with an unforgettable performance as the sharp Carson Wells. The storyline wasn't really original, but the Coen brothers managed to change it, add twists to it and whatnot and make it into something completely new. The only flaws with this movie were A. The timing. Some scenes went way too fast or were skipped completely. Other scenes dragged on a bit. Also the ending was VERY confusing, I had to look up the FAQ to fully get it. BUT this was still a GREAT movie. See it while its still in theaters. 9/10.
