Very intelligent on a dumb sort of way!!!

Rating: 10/10 (17 June 2010)

This movie's just great! Jeff Bridges was brilliant and he definitely deserved an Oscar for The Dude! I'm usually a fan of Coen Brother's ever since they made their first movie, Blood Simple, and they haven't disappointed since! Sure they've made a couple of average movies but never a bad movie! Not so far, at least!
John Goodman was also great if not the funniest character in this movie! His character is just brilliant! A guy that turned Jewish since he's married his wife who left him, always talking about Vietnam and about how he saw his friends with their faces in the mud even when they're talking about potatoes for instance, and so on... and so on... I can't find any mistakes in this film except that i would have really loved to see a bit more of Steve Buscemi!
The script and the directing are also great as expected from Coen Brothers. Violence is just in line. Not overdone and not underdone. And the music is just brilliant!!!!
This is a well packed, very well written mix of black comedy and a thriller that's way too intelligent to be dumb and way too dumb to be intelligent! A masterpiece!!!
