Horrible, Terrible, Just Plain Awful.

Rating: 1/10 (26 December 2015)

I don't understand modern movie-goers who think this is a good movie, let alone a great one. The film kept my attention and I hoped against hope that it would reveal some sort of resolution; some sort of reason for bothering to have made it. Nothing. Gratuitous violence, murder of completely innocent people, blood and guts, and then when it comes time for the main characters to confront the killer, we don't see anything. We are supposed to simply conclude....what?
The sensationalism with no purpose and the portrayal and glorification of murder is senseless and worse, demeaning of the culture. Is the message that "This is no country for old men?" All I had to do was read the title. Why bother making the movie? Where was the plot? What was the purpose? I feel ripped off by this movie and what is more troubling: Hollywood thought it was so great, they nominated it for best picture of the year. Correction: I was stunned after writing this review that it won! What more do you need to know about Hollywood "values?"
Yep, they're the ones who don't think law-abiding citizens ought to have the right to defend themselves from crazies and mad men like this in real life, yet their movies get bloodier and bloodier. They portray psychopaths who get away with murder and by doing so, they glorify it. No values, no plot, no integrity, no thanks.
