Strange little movie. Almost as strange as Pulp Fiction. Almost.
Sure, I was a little late in seeing this one– but it was worth the wait. Certainly kept me entertained. Never a dull moment. Must admit though, from the title, I was expectin’ an old-style western.
Old-style it is not. However, like most good westerns, this movie serves up one hell of a sawed-off-shotgun scene.
Contessa says– go see it (if you don’t mind blood).
This movie was:
(-) infidelity
(+) puking– take note during the “border crossing” scene.
A sample of what’s being said over at Rotten Tomatoes:
The film is as lean and mean as a barbed-wire necktie, darkly funny and much deeper than the average crime thriller. –Minneapolis Star Tribune
no country for old men is unassumingly clever… tons of unexpected plot twists but it never goes over the top. well done from a movie making angle, dumbfounding form a moral angle.
i must agree with patrick. just when you had the movie all figured out it spun you around again. the cohen brothers are absolute geniuses behind the camera. well done…5 stars here.
