Cinematic greatness.. nice.

Rating: 8/10 (26 February 2008)

Okay this comment goes out to ScottDeLane who abused up this movie like anything. Well, No Country For Old Men, isn't your average movie. I mean, it'll be mindblowing to some people, terrible to others. To clarify that.. The Coen brothers ain't your average filmmakers either. They are, well, unconventional. And to put it straight, yes, No Country For Old Men too is unconventional.
Provided the storyline is questionable, but c'mon, its Cormac Mcarthy. How can you question that anyways? No Country.. is cinematic brilliance. It wont be a surprise to see this movie among the Top 50 of all time. But, thats about it. The storyline takes the movie nowhere. It should have been much better. Its far away from normality. There, in come the characters. The real people who make it what it is.
Javier Bardem. Stunning. Absolutely stunning. Simon Cowell, judging him, would say,"You did it. You just did it." A well deserved Oscar for him. A Best Picture and a Best Director? Well, I disagree. Seen a few other deserving movies nominated for the Oscars this year.
All in all.. A modest 8. By no means a masterpiece, but great cinema.
