a profoundly disturbing and immoral movie

Rating: 1/10 (16 December 2007)

It is not often you see a movie so blatant about the ascendancy of evil over good. But this is one. In a way it is very well done, and in a way it is very hollow. If you think that people's deeper humanity is a weakness against evil and see this as a profound comment on life as we live it in the 21st century, then so be it.
You can rate each character in the movie's chance of survival by how evil they are. Gradually the less evil are killed off by the greater evil and good sees itself as "outmanned". One by one they are done in until only the one greatest and most evil is left. The good sheriff survives by more or less giving up and retiring.
After seeing this, I will boycott the Coen Brothers in the future. Extremely talented they are, but how can I condone such a profoundly evil movie--an immorality play.
