Cory-

I hated the movie.
I loved FARGO, and O Brother from the COEN'S but I have to tell you I was so disappointed by the script as well as how the movie was shot.

It was Scene...cut. Scene, cut. Scene, cut.
No music whatsoever lent a creepy feel to the movie and had me in anticipation for almost two hours.

I just thought the action was all a giant let down.
Don't get me wrong, I do think the acting performances were superb.
Javier Bardem was amazing and Tommy Lee Jones is always fantastic.

I just don't get how that film won Best Picture.
I felt the same way about LA Confidential too when I saw it in the theater.

All these years later I still think LA Confidential sucked, it was a poor man's Chinatown.

"No Country" is "Natural Born Killers"

Except Oliver Stone is a better film maker
