No Country for Old Men is an over-hyped trash heap that tries to salvage a deeper meaning from a train wreck of a storyline.

Rating: 3/10 (5 March 2008)

I can't see why this movie was held in such high regard by critics. I think it has to do with the fact that the Cohen brothers wrote the script, immediately launching the movie into an over-hyped bandwagon effect that ended with a couple of academy awards and a lot of four stars reviews. Personally, I felt the movie was the worst thing the Cohen brothers have ever put out. It had a crappy script, one-dimensional characters (Anton could have been developed into much more than just another bloodthirsty, greedy psychopath), and a cliffhanger ending that RESOLVED NOTHING. And don't tell me I didn't understand the movie.
As to charges by fanboys that I "didn't understand the movie," I understand No Country for Old Men quite well - that it is completely devoid of any deeper meaning whatsoever except the depiction of gratuitous violence and other primordial emotions. No Country for Old Men was an excuse to show a guy getting shot in the head with a cattle gun, imho. As said a previous reviewer, No Country for Old Men is simply another violent snuff flick with pseudo-intellectual intentions that just doesn't cut it.
