Why the love?

Rating: 1/10 (26 October 2008)

This was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I was bored out of my mind for the whole two hours. It is a film with no point, and no hero. The film glorifies violence with numerous pointless murders throughout the film. It only serves to disturb the viewer. We should be able to root for at least one of the characters in the story, but only Tommy Lee Jones is likable. Bardem's character kills without thinking twice about it. He never bothers to cover his tracks at all. Any decent law enforcement should be able to track him down and convict him of murder. The Coens made a decision to show many scenes without music. There are many scene without dialogue either. What this accomplishes is dragging out the "story" without bringing along the viewer. All in all, a terrible, boring story that I suggest you avoid.
