Seriously, try to rent it. It will be a good warm-up for when you can see No Country...

agreed - that and miller's crossing

on the ending, i really loved it- i thought that it fit perfectly with the whole theme of the movie - not that we wanted it to end this way, more that it HAD to end this way and if the Cohen Bros had given in to the audience's desire to see a different ending it would have betrayed the whole thing

difficult viewing - but worthwhile!

easy fix. buy a ticket to a different movie, then go to No Country instead.
as for the movie, i loved it. intense. great characters. great direction.

so - go see No Country for Old Men and learn to fear the Chegure!

hey zero, i was going to make a thread for this film but you beat me to it. well done.

i couldn't agree with you more. the film blew my mind.
and the last segment of the film just left my jaw on the floor (in a great way).

ugh the ending was so great.

anyway, you pretty much said it all. i just wanted to second your statement.

Now that I think of it I do like the ending. It was like a book ending. And considering it was a book now I love it.

This one has really lingered with me. The Coens play with audience expectations and never pander. Bardem is brilliant (I know what next year's Halloween costume is going to be!!!) and Tommy Lee Jones is heartbreaking.

I wanted more Josh Brolin.

I'm really looking forward to seeing it again

Yeah, I can't believe every kid hasn't thought of this..

There are many tricks you can play at the cinema.. buy a ticket for a kids movie that has adult prices and go see a full priced blockbuster your unsure about..

If you go see a movie and it sucks just walk in to something else that is starting.. Get your moneys worth...

Good. Gravy. What an amazing movie, and what a great villain in Chigurh.

i saw this for the second time tonight, and i must say i say i loved it even more this time around. i noticed some more things, smaller details and the like.

i'm going to go ahead and say this is my favorite of 2007 so far. i'm waiting to see before the devil knows you're dead and there will be blood, which might beat it out. we'll see though.

I was traveling for my job in Eden Prairie Minnesota and I had a free night so I went and saw it. At the end a lady yelled out "that was the worst show I ever saw!". I love when people obliviously proclaim their stupidity.

SPOILERS BELOW!!!!!

Make's we want to read the book. So was Woody Harrelson going back to change clothes so he could go get it? Also I don't think he would have agreed to go back to the room. And Brolin's character (when we don't see his final stand), how did the Mexican tracker's find him? Or where they trackers at all, and just hoodlams? We know how "sugar" finds him (after the fact) but we don't know how the Mexican's find him(???)
