Crappy movie for old men

Rating: 2/10 (17 February 2008)

I'm a college graduate who enjoys exciting movies, good plots, puzzles, and challenges in general. No Country for Old Men keeps you on your toes...up until the conclusion. The last 30 minutes feel as if the writers pulled random segments from a hat. I simply don't understand what I'm supposed to feel after the good guy dies, the supporting good guy gives up and retires, and the bad guy walks off into the sunset. Is there a subliminal irony here that I'm supposed to appreciate? Sorry Hollywood, it's time I stand up to proclaim: "Complexity does not equal brilliance". When I yearn for entertainment via arbitrary articulation I'll pop in my Nirvana CD; I will not seek it in film.
