No Country for Old Men (2007)

No Country For Old Men - SUCKS
This movie was senseless violence with no point. It was a total waste of my evening. I regret spending a single cent to view such garbage. Come on... if you are going to get all "artsy" on me, do so... not this rubbish.

Let's pretend we see meaning in the meaningless....

My husband and I watched this movie last night and when it was over, we looked at each other and said WHAT THE?!?!?! I must admit we enjoyed parts of the movie, the acting was strong and the storyline intriguing for the most part. It was a little slow at times, but all would've been forgiven except that the whole story started unraveling in the last 20-25 minutes. Murdered bodies were shoved in your face constantly, but in the end when it really mattered, everything became vague and left to inference. I don't watch movies always expecting a happy ending or even justice, but this movie just ended. I think there was suppose to be some tie in to the title at the end when Tommy Lee's character decides to retire because he realizes he's old?? The ending was sloppy and unsatisfying and completely destroyed an otherwise great start. It was like the writers weren't sure how they wanted to end it, so they left the ending up to your own imagination or to project that there was this really deep point, if only you 'PRETEND' to get it. The Academy are very good PRETENDERS it seems. I would like my 2+ hours back to do something that really matters, like dust the furniture- now infer the deep meaning in that!

I thought this was the John McCain story but......
it is a slow, plodding, boring film of people who all look stoned. None of them smile, appear to have an IQ above lukewarm, and they all talk like "yep", "nope". They are all idiots in other words. Why did this actor win best supporting actor? I don't know. He says little, just shoots people with a livestock killer and shows no acting range at all. I bet I could perform as well. The story is annoying with sterotyped western characters that talk like they have a real challenge putting a sentence together. The story is not entertainment, not intelligent nor does it even succeed at being a thriller. It moves like a drunk hippo. If people really acted like the characters in this film there would be no country at all since no one really comunicates and they all wear the expressions of robots. Malfunctioning ones at that. Why this got best picture is the real question. The directors try to be quirky and have people do and say quirky thinks but it is so forced and silly it Screams "you are watching a Coens Brothers movie". Very distracting. Avoid this piece of junk or at least just rent it. Buying it would be stupid because who could sit through this garbage more than once? I grew so restless waiting for its predictable ending.
