frustrating ending - By: bigby, 03 Oct 2008 
as usual a well made film, but nothing really to it, didn't really care about anyone, they didn't seem to have proper characters & the end was a complete cop out.
A Rough Diamond - By: AJ-27, 29 Sep 2008 
This film has some superb performances & some stunning cinematography with some very good action sequences.
The problem is that there are several parts of the film that move at an incredibly slow pace. I'm not here looking for an outright no-brainer action film, & I enjoy character driven films but this film is just too slowin parts.
William Butler Yates - By: Brendan O. Clarke, 27 Sep 2008 NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN is so old & tired it can't get out of it's own way. It doesn't even struggle to its feetin order to at least end well. After a couple of tedious hours of the bad guy dragging about a cattle gun attached to a compressed air tank, the Coen brothers are so pleased with themselves, they decide to insult the audience with nothing more clever or novel than a blank screen ending. I was, however, relieved it was over.
I understand the existential angst of the film. The Coen's do portray convincingly the aching despair, hopelessness, & helplessness of the human condition. They point to the gathering storm & darkness on the horizon. Unfortunately, this particular film does not illuminate. I want to tell them that they got it wrong & it's okay; the end has been written; evil is vanquished & the prince of darkness loses.
No Movie For Old Men - By: Niz, 24 Sep 2008 
Great movie. It is difficult to find a modern action movie without all the hollywood bling & this is it. Javier Bardem is haunting & brilliantin his role.
Real Dissappointment - By: Bubblez, 22 Sep 2008 
I had been really excited about seeing this movie as it had won four Oscars. After watching the movie, I wish I had not wasted my money. Javier Bardem was excellent but Tommy Lee's roll was wooden & did the actor little justice. There seemed to be a big build up & then nothing. I was left disappointed & confused. To many loose ends. How this movie got Best Picture eludes me completely. Where have all the good films gone?
