A frustrating but great movie

Rating: 8/10 (19 April 2015)

Somehow I missed watching this movie until now and I think pretty much everything has already been said about it; Javier Bardem's bad hair, the amazing acting from a bunch of talent, the dark, raw plot told through unconventional storytelling - which I'll be honest, made me uncomfortable.
This is a modern day western based on the on the 2003 novel by Cormac McCarthy and directed by brothers Joel and Ethan Coen and I have to talk about the ending. Now because I haven't read the book I'm not sure where the blame lies but why was the audience not allowed to see the final showdown between Anton (Javier Bardem) and Llewelyn (Josh Brolin)?After an entire movie of suspenseful cat and mousing, and then nothing. The ending had me saying seriously that's its!? It felt unconcluded. 09.11
