no Award winning material in this one

Rating: 3/10 (24 August 2013)

When i was a child i believed that winning an Academy Award meant something. Then i grew up and some time down the road i saw No Country For Old Men.
There wouldn't have been a movie hadn't it been for the insecurity of the main character in the beginning. However, it was still possible to argue that people tend to make irrational decisions even when they know they are wrong or harmful. Then the plot went on and it was clear that script was written without the intention to lead us anywhere.
Xavier Bardem saved the day with his performance, but even that was not enough to explain the number of Academy Awards this movie garnered. I mean, it was a decent retro thriller but not a masterpiece everybody praises.
