"No Country for Old Men"

Just got done watching this

Great movie!

Unfortunately the last 60 seconds of the movie completely ruined it   :huh

It is a great movie.  The last 60 seconds doesn't ruin it.  It shows that good doesn't always triumph over evil.  And that heroes eventually grow old and die.

Great film. I watched it for the first time a few nights ago. I agree the ending sucked, but the Cohens were sticking to the novel.

Yeah I enjoyed it to.  Great "soul" to the film.  That is to say, it has a feeling that comes across with it.  Visual art.

The only downside to it is that it encapsulates and glorifies violence in an odd sort of art film way.  Not to say that I don't enjoy violence in film but man, theres
enough violence in our everyday way of life as is.  As I have aged I have found that my desire to participate in glorified murder on film has waned appreciably. 

Still, NCfOM is a fine piece of cinematic work.

I didn't understand it. Great acting, great scenes, and then fizzle.

Ending was refreshing.  I don't lay claim to knowing any high art, but I thought it reached beyond the bone stock movies we've been spoon fed.

I thought it was great.

The ending followed the novel verbatim.

Yeah, I liked it alot.

If you liked this, rent "Blood Simple" if you haven't already seen it. 

I still think "Miller's Crossing" was their best movie ever though.

I was a good movie, but the ending was a bit of a let down. Not meaning it made the movie suck, but they built up the entire movie around a final show down only to let it fizzle out with no climax. I understand the point behind what they did, but still it was a bit of a let down.

Just go rent the movie "Way of the Gun" and it will make up for it.

Try renting "The Wild Bunch" instead. Much better flick. :aok
