Ending

Rating: 9/10 (15 March 2008)

Excellent depiction of human nature - An accurate and reasonably violent tour of the violent trade in the (sadly, part of the global economy) nasty drug commodity.
I was especially and pleasantly distracted (long enough to gather my bearings) when the candy bar wrapper expanded on the counter during the filling station scene. A respite and perfectly non-typical direction - Coens' style - a well thought out pause during a tortuous scene. Answer the question! The ending - well, at first observation, it was flat. For me, on the second viewing after I became aware of the sense of it all...it was simply brilliant.
A perfect fade to black.
Highly recommended - Wow.
