Well Done

Rating: 7/10 (18 November 2007)

This was definitely an interesting movie. A highly violent and plodding thriller clearly a product of the Coen brothers. It is reminiscent of Fargo with respect to pace and tone. At times the film seemed in need of an infusion of energy, but at other points the tempo seems more than appropriate. Josh Brolin seems to be laying down the gauntlet as a serious thespian. Especially, given his recent performance in American Gangster. Javier Bardem continues to delight, but that is to be expected from an actor of his caliber. One only hopes the Coen brothers don't wait as long to bless us with another cinematic piece. Let me know what you think at www.urbandementia.blogspot.com.
