Overrated!

Rating: 2/10 (26 October 2017)

This was the third movie from Cohen brothers I watched. First two were The Big Lebowski and True Grit. I find all of them overrated. This one was the worst because it tried to be different and deliver some sort of a not-important message which has failed to do so.

Loved the cinematography.

Depiction was good, even though the plot wasn't.

Some say that Javier Bardem (Chigurh) put so much into this role. But I think this must be the easiest part he ever played. Just needs to stay still with no emotions oh his face. He got an Oscar!

OK. At the first scene Chigurh is arrested (we don't know the reason), and yet, the officer turns his back to Chigurh while talking on the phone leading to his murder.

Then we meet Llewelyn Moss. He accidentally finds some cars and dead bodies of drug dealers in the desert. He concludes that one of those drug dealers must be alive and took the money. So he tracks him and finds his dead body. Then he finds a case full of money. There is some problems with this behavior. We don't know him well. Why did he do that? Why didn't he call the police? Is that just because he is poor? How did he know that one man is alive, close, wounded and ran on his feet? What was his plan if he was not wounded?

When Llewelyn goes to bed that night, suddenly feels guilty about that poor dying drug dealer who wanted some water and must be dead by now!!! He decides to go back in dark and give him some water instead of calling cops anonymously; cops can give him water too. The rest of the story goes on because of this stupid decision, that's why this movie makes no much sense. That's not good. I even couldn't figure out his personality at all.

At the drug dealing location, some (perhaps Mexican) guys on a truck find that somebody is there and follow him. But they can't kill him. The truck can't reach him and it has lights.

Stupid Llewelyn again. He sends his wife to her mother's but he stays. We don't see any plan that he's going to follow. He just stays. For what? We don't know. Why didn't he go to another city or country? It gets worse. Trust me.

He hides the case in the vent. Goes out to shop. He comes back and finds out that some (perhaps Mexican) guys might be in his room. So he decides to come back later with some tools to pull that case out from back room. It seems that characters of this movie are deaf. No one hears him trying to pull that case. No one hears shooting in room 137. Later we see shooting in the street.

That run-chase scene when Chigurh finds Llewelyn! Chigurh uses two bullets on the driver, then decides to shoot Llewelyn. And he doesn't shoot the tires. Llewelyn can't control the truck when turning. Why? Both his hand were fine.

The story could be better with less characters and less conversations.

Wife's character (Carla Jean Moss) is the most annoying role in this movie. She just cooperates with anything and anyone.

At the end I didn't understand any of those characters, why they acted like that and why they say those things.

It should be titled like "No Country for Police Men". They're dumb here. No achievement in anything.
