"You've been putting it up your whole life... you just didn't know it."

Rating: 6/10 (21 May 2015)

Another viewing, after I'd seen it twice about seven years ago, and it turned out to be a bit of a disappointment again. This time around, I was more able to get into the straightforward thriller feel of things. I still think Brolin wasn't the best man for the part, but then again, this whole film lacks that 'Coen-feeling', somehow. And a lot scenes with Tommy Lee Jones were just downright boring. I mean, of course his part is important to the story, but a lot of his complaining and such was just too much for me. Another bummer (again) was Bardems part, although he was not as annoying as before, and some of Antons rants even came close to making sense this time.
Unfortunately, there is no typical musical theme by Carter Burwell, except for that terrific bit just after the film is over. Not using much music can help add the tension, and I guess it did so here.
I found it to be a little more fun to watch than the last time, but it's still no masterpiece in my opinion, not by a long shot. A big 6 out of 10.
