Oscars for what?

Rating: 4/10 (7 March 2008)

No country for old men. There was so much hype and a great trailer, that I couldn't wait to see it. Javier Bardem was great. A Mexican version of Jason (Friday 13th) The rest was rubbish.
I was expecting a twist, something clever and if not, a violent rampage. But nothing happened.
Come on...it was long, slow and boring. The characters had no depth. The acting was very good, but the characters went no where. Without Javier, this movie would we a bad remake of a 70's west type movie.
The script was average and there were no great scenes. The only thing I'll remember is the Javier and his gas canister.
I love Coen brothers movies. I own every other one on DVD. There is no way I would buy this. If I received it as a present, I'll sell it or give it away.
They could have done so much more. Something to make this movie memorable.
