I'm not sure it was worth all the hype...

Rating: 6/10 (16 December 2008)

When hunter Brolin stumbles across a drug deal gone bad, he decides to keep the money for himself. But he gets caught by some of the bad guys cohorts when he returns to the scene of the crime to get the drugs and they're already there. This sets the tone for the rest of the movie where everyone is trying to get their own hands on the money, while an aging lawman (Jones) stumbles around, trying to figure out what, exactly, is going on.
This film, in my opinion, was a little on the lame side. Although a fan of Tommy Lee Jones, I am, definitely, not a fan of the Coen Bros. I thought the plot was good, but the direction the movie took, sometimes was a little sidetracked and the dialog was, sometimes, too macho. I don't live in Texas, but do they really talk that way down there? Do they threaten people and put lives at risk with such little emotion? To tell you the truth, I feel like I've put more emotion into the fifteen minutes to write this review than the "Brothers" did in writing the whole film. Jones, alone, was the reason why this movie got six out of ten stars, and even THAT was questionable.
