Best Picture of 2007.
Although engaging and well acted I could not recommend this movie because the ending was so disappointing.
Compelling and strangely uplifting.
Best movie of this year.
It was a very good movie.
Don't waste your money on this one...story line fell to pieces 1 3/4 through the movie..and the story got lost with absolutely no ending
Weird to the most and *very* catching. I had one great time watching this movie. Different and daring.
Can't wait for the sequel as there surly will be.
Go Tommy Lee / love all your movies you deserve more awards for all your wonder movies over the years
probably one of the best movies ive ever seen, this deserves a lot of academy awards.
I saw this movie on the weekend and I have to say that it is perhapes one of the best films I have seen sine LOTR Trilogy, the film was well writen and directed by the Cohen Bros., the acting was spectacular, cinematography was amazing. Now I have to worn you people this is not the type of film for average joes, it for movie buffs like me, I thought this film at first was about Javier Bardom and Josh Brolin, but I was mistaken, the film is about Tommy Lee Jones and his struggle with how the present is.
I admit, the ending is not the greatest, but the movie is still very creepy and engaging. Bardem freaked me out and josh brolin did a great job. This is a movie that grows on you - a very good flick.
This is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. Excellent story line and amazing acting. Man or woman, you will LOVE this movie. If you don't, you are dumb!
Sorry to disappoint all the Ben Affleck fans out there but this movie has characters and a dramatic un-Hollywood structure. It is in English but obviously needs subtitles for all the candy bar connoisseurs. Maybe part VI where the antagonist meets the winner of AVP will be more your style.
Go see this movie!
Ok. I want to set the record straight with this movie. I am generally a open minded movie watcher. This is why I must say honestly this movie is reallllllllllllly boring. I mean going to the movies is supposed to be entertaining. Don't believe the hype......If curious wait to rent it. Truly a waste of time for any NORMAL movie watcher.
A very well-done film. Everyone in the theatre was tense with anticipation and fear. The acting is fantastic, along with everything else. Although the focus cleverly shifts from the man who finds the money to the sherrif, the former character was nevertheless extremely important, and his departure from the movie is ineffectively handled. It leaves the viewer wanting more...in the sence that it is unfullfiling. But maybe that's the feeling that the movie is going for. The viewers are just as powerless to change the outcome as the characters themselves. Intense.
Most audiences will look at the film and see only the simple plot of a fugitive and his two pursuers, but is there more being said and more being asked within the wide open spaces of No Country for Old Men? Indisputably.
Best movie I've seen this year.
worse movie I have seen in ages. Waste of money
This movie is absolutely incredible. No question it deserves to be named the best flick of the year. Suspenseful and brilliantly written - your heart will be pounding. Don't hesitate to see this movie just because some people didn't understand the ending... it was the closest thing possible to a film masterpiece.
The movie was going well -- I love the Cohen Brothers. However, something happened on the editing table. The last 20 minutes was building and then it ended. There was no closure. Too many unanswered questions. It wasn't a cliff hanger, it was more like "where's the rest??!!" I think I am just going to wait for DVD rentals, as I'm tired of spending so much money at the show and being disappointed in the end.
Astounding movie, the Coens have done it again. The tension created with the pacing is nerve-wracking. Every actor gives a great performance, somewhat subdued and understated, no hint of stereotypes. Dialogue is simple but wonderfully written. Just a great movie. I don't understand why it's such a big revelation that the movie is about Tommy Lee Jones' character - he narrated the opening speaking about his life and past, that kind of tells you right there who the movie is about.
The movie appeared to be going well and when the credits came on in what should have been the "middle" of the movie, I just shook my head. Stupid. Don't waste your money.
Worst movie I have seen in years. Waste of my good hard earned money. Still trying to figure out what the movie was about. No idea why it was nominated for a golden globe. it stunk
worse piece of crap I've seen in years
I'm not giving anything away by saying that the last 15 minutes show how the movie isn't really about Bardem, Brolin or the chase. It's about the sheriff and his struggles with the changes around him that he can't control. And I'll add this. Anton is the best movie villain since Hannibal Lector, and probably equals him.
awesome movie. Upclose and extremely personal!!!! Be afraid VERY afraid.Nothing less than you would expect from the Coen brothers.
OH MY....must must see...the best..saw it last week and still thinking about it..not creepy but just a great great movie ...you will like it and yes you will get the ending for sure....enjoy
Really disappaointing movie as it had a great concept and idea but failed to deliver and left you hanging along with useless character development.
I love the Cohen brothers amd generally thought this movie was great film making, but I must admit, I too did not "get" the last 15 minutes. Can somebody please explain it. Lots of black humour, Josh Brolin was top notch, and Bardem was appropriately creepy
A goddamn masterpiece. Some people won't "get" this movie, and thats fine, but for the others, this is an awesome piece of filmmaking with an ominous ending that will haunt you long after you leave the theatre. Bardem's character is the definitive human portrayal of pure evil. The lack of any soundtrack will surprise many people, but it adds so much to the intensity of this movie. Simply amazing.
it was the most boring movie i have ever seen, i fell alsleep, very dissappointed
A tremendous piece of film-making, but I'd like to see it again to properly appreciate. It's only in the last 15 minutes that you realise the film is about the sheriff, and not the characters involved in the endless blood-letting. If you don't 'get it' then perhaps stick to Terminator-style shoot-'em ups, it's rare that such a piece of film-making makes it to the mainstream
The acting is great and the story is simple. Beware, you're not going to see a hollywood ending. I liked it.
awesome... the Coen Bro's have done it again. They have made a movie that gets people talking. You either hate it or love it not much "middle of the road" chatter. I, myself really enjoy the movies these two brothers make. If you start thinking negative thoughts, just remember you are watching a Coen Brothers film, maybe then you will either enjoy it or stay away from Coen Bro's films. Never go to a film because you like one actor in the film you will most likely not enjoy the film. So says the Porgie
I loved the movie until the last 15 minutes. There were a lot of loose ends that never got resolved. Bardem was excellent in the movie
No question about it! This movie sure keeps you tight on your seat! Extremely suspenseful and well acted but the ending.....I don't know, I did not get it. Quite violent though!
Love Javier. Great actor...and cute guy.
good movie, i enjoyed the great suspense, thrill and violence but tommy lee character was horrible did not make any sense to me, to movie did not have a good plot and the ending was shit
Brilliant as always!!
good movie,flaws in a few parts but overall a thrilling experience and a must-see,and definitally worth an oscar. very violent movie should of been rated R
This was a slow movie, had some suspense to it. Very disappointed in Tommy Lee Jones's part in this as this was the only reason Iwent to see it was for him. The ending was terrible. I do not recommend seeing this movie if u are a big TLJ fan, very disappointing.
This movie sucked..it was long boring and had no ending whatsoever...a waste of money!
First, it is violent. If you can get past this, there are interesting themes to consider including a transitioning from the order and civility of the postwar years to nihilistic and fragmented morality corrupted by drugs and guns, how statistical chance renders plans meaningless. It's not light and it ends strangely, but it probably worth the time.
It's not perfect but bar far the best movie of this year and the last 10 years! The most incredible villian... more evil than skeletor...
Great movie! The villian is one bad arse and I am sure this movie will be in the oscars
In this movie it should be quickly pointed out that the cinematography crew and the principal actors all toed the line... no slackers in this film. Javier Bardem, who, in my opinion, gives a sensational performance in the role as Anton Chigurgh. The real problem is that the story line to "No Country for Old Men"(adapted from Cormac McCarthy's novel of the same title) appears to have been pushed through a cuisineart. The novel, rich with carefully composed multi-layered depth, faultless structure and interesting symbolism, looks to have been pared down during the transition phase, thus rendering a middleweight movie which banks on appeasing theatre audiences with violence a'la Hollywood. I
An entertaing movie ,a bit violent at times but a well done film.The only thing stopping me from giving the highest rating is the very abrupt death of one of the chearacters.The death took a bit of the flow of the movie away and was a little disappointing.Overall,one of the better flicks that I have seen this year.
great acting, great characters, very suspenseful, terrible ending.
