I want my 2.5 hours back!

Rating: 1/10 (3 February 2008)

I too went to see this movie because of all of the gushing reviews and nominations. Not only do I want my $11 back, I want the two and a half hours back! As far as a compelling story, there is nothing there, there: We have this amoral evil guy, who continues to demonstrate that he can be evermore amoral and evil. For 2.5 hours. We live in a world of that, why would I want to pay good money and my time to see that?
Then there was that egregious and screeching music track that falsely indicates great things are about to happen that never do.
For the life of me, I can't fathom why so many are convinced that this is such a great movie. Rated higher here than "Chinatown" or "Taxi Driver"? Come on you're kidding, right?
The cinematography is lovely, that that is not enough. Spend your money, and more importantly your time seeing the finely crafted "No Country for Old Men", twice.
