This won Oscars?

Rating: 2/10 (2 March 2008)

I can count on one hand the number of films I have walked out on in my lifetime and that's a LOT of films. But just shy of one hour into this mindless piece of mayhem both my wife and I left. I know that we live in one of the most violent nations on the planet and it seems that many Americans just can't get enough of it. That must account for this films popularity. But that it won Oscars? Please, say it isn't so!!! Bad, bad, bad - that's all that really comes to mind. If you haven't seen this film yet don't waste your hard earned cash. The Cohen brothers may be the darlings of Hollywood but out here in the real world I am simply disappointed. Very, very disappointed.
