Everything you've heard is true.

Rating: 10/10 (8 February 2008)

Whatever has been said about this film is completely true. It is one of the best films of the year, it is the best Coen brothers film since 1996's Fargo, and it is a top-notch thriller that keeps you guessing and wondering what could possibly happen next. From the startling beginning to the abrupt ending, we are always left guessing. And that is the way it should be, since none of these characters really know what is going to happen next either. From a technical view, this is perfect film-making. The camera movement is amazing. The cinematography is beautiful to look at amidst all the blood and violence, and the acting is incredibly accurate. Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, Kelly MacDonald and Woddy Harrelson are all fantastic in their respected parts. However, as it has been reported, the best is Javier Bardem, whose performance as a ruthless, cold-blooded, heartless and ultimately inhuman killing machine is so real and shocking, you might think this is Bardem's job. He deserved every award he got for this role, and he will walk away with Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars on Feb. 24. Overall, this is an amazing production. We aren't quite sure how to react to this, but think about it some more and a solution may come to mind. As for the Oscars, I believe this will win at least Supporting Actor, Director(s), Adapted Screenplay, and Cinematography. As for Best Picture, that is between No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood, and the Oscar voters. Let the votes come in.
