Its a weird movie. I don't see how it could have won the best film oscar for 2007. The acting is good, the direction is gripping, there is a plot, but you shouldn't be rewarded for leaving the audience in the lurch, but thats exactly what happens. All throughout the film, the suspense is building up, characters are merging in, lot of action is happening, everything is moving towards a possible culmination when bam! credits!
what kind of a sadist plot is that?
Javier Bardem is menancing as the psychopathic killer and Josh Brolin looks the quintessential cowboy. Tommy Lee Jones is thoroughly wasted just mouthing some cool deductions and putting in place his stupid assistant
Director brothers Ethan Coen and Joel Coen live up to their expectations. Just like Fargo(1996) and The big Lebowski(1998), this is yet another weird movie from them.
