I am a Coen brothers fan so be aware of that if you're looking for a review from someone less inclined to like the movie than me. The movie has everything I like. Great characters, memorable scenes and lines. In a jazz sort of way what I actually like best is what isn't said.
The movie is set in rural west Texas. It does an excellent job creating the remote, slow pace of the area with silence. In dialogue and in settings there's more empty space than you might expect in a movie. To me that captures the culture of west Texas.
Great performances up and down the cast from people who aren't Texans but sound like it to a lifetime native resident like me. This is a movie I'll stop down for any time I roll through the guide and see it on. If you like the Coen brothers or somehow haven't seen any of their work give it a look.
