call it.....friendo.

Rating: Null/10 (7 January 2010)

The Coen brothers have made some very interesting films, there's no doubt about that. Anyone who has seen "Fargo" for instance knows this. Rich with interesting characters, with a tense an exciting plot,this film was based on a novel of the same name. In a category all by itself,with a villain unlike any other I've seen in a film, this has the elements that you would expect to find in a Coen brothers movie, even in an adaptation. All the performances are really good, especially that of Javier Bardem, playing a totally unbelievable character who almost belongs in a comedy, in my opinion...not played for laughs, but quotable in a Hannibal Lecter sense. Well worth a rental!
