I love all the little touches in the movie.

My favorite thing is how Anton always checks to make sure his boots are clean. There is one scene in the movie where that provides a huge clue on what happened.

Its now a huge clue at all, just proves he killed the women.. who cares..?

Limited release in December. I haven't see it yet, obviously, but I've been anticipating it for quite some time.

You should check out 'This is England' as well -- that is pretty intense and very high on my list this year.

If Daniel Day-Lewis is making a movie, then yeah, take notice. What's this, like his third movie in ten years? That's unfortunate.

Well his last movie, Gangs of New York, was awful. He was good though.

True, it wasn't great, but it got nominations (that was all I was really saying). And, yes, he was really good in it.

Perhaps you could not give away plot points for those who haven't seen it? I'm very eager to see this film as I love the Coen brothers' movies.

Ok, I finally saw it. Best movie I've seen in years. Blows away The Departed, and I'm a fan of The Departed. Bardem was mind-blowing.

I thought this when I saw it -- then I saw There Will Be Blood which is actually BETTER.

Two great movies right there.

Had to dig this post up since I finally watched No Country this weekend on DVD. This has got to be one of the most powerful movies I've ever seen.

Anton Chigurh is the ultimate villan - compassionless, ruthless, just plain damn scary. Yet there is a sense that he's got a set of morals or rules that he follows. Javier Bardem's performance alone is worth watching this film for.

Eh, I didn't like it. The ending blows. But I guess it entertained me, and that was the purpose.

You could not be more correct.

I really liked No Country For Old Men... till the last 10 mins. At that point it just completely SUCKED.

Yes, the ending was pretty weak. At least the beginning and end of it. The movie focuses on a character it's entire length and then it's just like, oh yeah btw, he died. The part with his wife was fine, the part with the older guy at the end just felt tacked on so they could have a nice little scene to end with.

Overall the movie was decent. Nothing really spectacular or groundbreaking. I've seen movies that were similar in style and quality many times before. It is the kind of movie the academy loves, which doesn't really say anything about how good it really is or isn't. I mean they loved Crash which was about as generic and average as they come.

I approve this message. I felt like I invested so much into a good plot just to run into a market crash.

I have too much to say about this movie that wouldn't be spoilage.

I want my $ back.

ZeroClub · Apr 8, 2008

For my taste, a little too much blood and violence for the sake of blood and violence, but overall, an o.k. movie. For me, it was worth the price of a DVD rental.

Well I have the book because I really enjoy Cormac McCarthy's writing ( just read The Road which was spectacular), but I haven't seen the flick yet. I did hear wbap host saying it was a great movie and that the ending was very controversial...ie many ppl didn't like the ending... I'll probably hurry up and read the book and go see the movie during Xmas.

The Road was spectacular , and I just finished it myself . I've been hooked on McCarthy since I read Blood Meridian . I watched the movie a couple of weeks ago and it was okay . It started out going along well with the book , and the actors matched the book characters well . Then...Woody Harrelson showed up !
