Drugs, money and violence

Rating: 9/10 (23 March 2010)

Despite its many good reviews from the press, this Coen Bros masterpiece is bound to have some criticism from ordinary members of the public once they have seen it and they don't fully understand what's it all about. Set mostly in Texas around the 1980s, this film contains what is considered to be brutal and with gruesome violence for the reason why it sometimes has its criticisms and some saying that Tommy Lee Jones' Sheriff ET Bell wasn't doing anything to tackle it with the real killer getting away with it only just. Well, others would consider saying that he wisely chooses to distance himself and not to risk it because what's the point when it comes to dealing with a vicious triangle of dodgy drug gangs as it would be difficult to tackle it alone. Even so, there are also some "ordinary" people whom were also being killed and that's mainly because some of these civilians "choosed a path" what's the point in getting involved in a life of crime and with these criminal activities and what's the risk. On the other hand, I would still think this film to be a masterpiece from the Coen Brothers and its well made and I would recommend it only to those whom would have a better understanding on what's it all about.
