Disappointed

Rating: Null/10 (17 February 2008)

This nihilistic death fantasy by the Coen brothers is a real disappointment. It is structurally impossible to believe, and its incoherent ending left me feeling nothing short of defrauded. Don't take anyone you care about to see this truly depressing show, unless, of course, you think they'd enjoy watching scene after scene of prolonged acts of sadistic murder as the apparently invisible killer (he literally vanishes from the street after being blasted with buckshot) drifts freely through a naive world filled with defenseless victims and never-ending justice. In this low-rent tale, Tommy Lee Jones plays a useless, impotent, befuddled old sheriff. In real life, he is an amazingly talented actor who needs to fire his agent.
