Coen's Oscar material

Rating: 8/10 (5 March 2008)

No Country For Old Men The Coen brothers have a theme. What matter kind of genre it is, it'll either make you afraid, or amused.
I noticed that the Coen brothers have spent a lot of times with details on this movie. Many things ordinary directors wouldn't even think of, so that's definitely a plus. The one thing that the movie was missing that made me disappointed, was the music. There was no music in the movie what so ever. At certain point there was a mood string playing but that didn't work that much. I mean even at the most silent moments you could add some low trembled guitar or something in that direction. I've seen some Coen films and it's pretty odd for their style not to include music in the film.
But they managed to make you feel excited and create a very dark mood after all. So that's a + again.
I have to write this: For those who are sensitive of tense moments, jump scenes whatsoever. This movie made me jump many times and the moments aren't small jumps, at some points you'll really freak out, so i warn sensitive viewers out there.
Anyway if you like the Coen brothers, and the sort of Texas crime genre, you'll definitely enjoy this movie.
