I screamed with pain

Rating: 1/10 (19 March 2008)

I literally screamed with pain at the end of this movie. It was that terrible. Throughout the whole thing I tried my best to like it. But no amount of effort could have prepared for its agonizing non-end.
I only wish someone had warned me that this was essentially a revision of "Waiting for Godot" set in west Texasexcept without the action or pathos of Beckett's original play.
What were the Coen brothers trying to communicate by this movie? Perhaps they were trying to provide the Taliban with yet another reason to hate America. Or perhaps it was a cry for help: "Stop us before we write and direct again!" Regardless of their motives, "No Country for Old Men" is to movies what chitterlings are to food. Only the very strongest can stomach it.
