Edward F Great villain. Javier Bardem's performance was outstanding. However, the movie as a whole is overrated. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/19/24 Full Review Jonathan O Absolutely one of the best Cohen Brothers film since Blood Simple and Fargo and one of the notorious scary villain ever played by Javier Bardem his performance gives us the chills and the way he speaks to other characters is so disturbing and really fantastic writing from the Cohen Brothers to build up the suspense, the thrills and darkly humor and beautifully shot by Roger Dickson and the violence is so unsuspecting graphic and shocking and really great sound design. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/13/24 Full Review A J Brilliantly directed and acted. Not much substance, but the eerie mood is truly captivating. One of my favourite films. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/08/24 Full Review Alec B If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule? Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/08/24 Full Review Martin B A drug deal gone bad, some poor slob finds the money and the hunt is on by the bad guys. It’s all been done before this movie a cliché. The only thing separating it is rich characters, the barren settings and cinematography. Not finishing the yarn fooled the critics into thinking this was an artsy masterpiece when what it was is a series of interesting scenes with a predictable ending. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/02/24 Full Review Tony M There is a reason why the Coen brothers are well acclaimed in Hollywood. They possess a vast array of themes, meanwhile, including a rather dark and philosophical under tone. As my rating suggests, this film is no exception. This film makes an interesting choice by containing no music, further marinating the heavy reality of predator, prey, and a hunter coming across an unknown species. It pulls and drags you into an intimate place, by turning you into a witness of these intense scenes that play in front of you. All of this is pushed to max capacity by Javier Bardem's hauntingly dead, and cold portrayal of a man who has fully embraced and embodied a mans inherent sense of nihilism that has gone untethered. (Would be anyone with that hair) You could claim the two directors had an "easy" time with this film, since this was based off McCarthy's novel, but as many cinema-philes know, many try and many fail at adapting novels into films. In short, this film will make you question why people wear their mask's, and why old men dream of a past age, through the lens of colorful glass. All while it was written in blood stained stone all along. An excellent film that knocks you out with thrill, crime, drama, and self reflection.
