A real masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2007)

I just saw this film yesterday night and I am still thinking about the characters and the film's ending. I have not read the book but I will probably read to see what are the differences. I think that the Coen brothers might just have surpassed "Fargo" which was in my opinion one of their finest works.
The plot of the movie is very linear and simple, but what really makes this movie outstanding is the characters who are deep and complex. Still, the character which will probably be most remembered is Anton Chigurh, played by Havier Bardem. This character is the baddie from the movie, and believe me he is bad. However, this character is complex which is rarely found in films nowadays. Javier Bardem truly outdid himself, this is his best performance, and in my opinion he might just have created the most memorable villain in film history.
This movie is a must see but don't expect a popcorn flick, because I did notice in the theater many people leaving very disappointed. See this movie with your full attention and you will be rewarded with great cinematography, great characters and performances.
